Valkyries vs. Fire Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Tuesday, September 22

Portland had its moments in its first season of existence, including four wins over New York and Atlanta. However, the Fire cooled down the stretch with losses in seven of their last eight games, including three straight since the World Cup break.

Golden State is one year removed from its surprising run to the playoffs in its debut season. The Valkyries didn’t shock anyone this season, but no one expected them to become the second team to 30 wins.

The Fire close out their season tonight looking to beat the Valkyries for the first time in four matchups. Golden State is 3-0 against Portland with all three victories coming by 16 or more points. Last Friday, the Valkyries took care of the Fire, 82-66 as 13.5-point home favorites.

Portland is tied with Los Angeles for the worst defensive effective field goal percentage (EFG%) at home (54.4%) according to WNBA.com. The Fire have dropped five straight home contests, with the last victory at Moda Center coming against Seattle on August 8.
