Valkyries vs. Liberty Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Thursday, August 27

The Liberty have plenty of landing spots for playoff seeding in the WNBA postseason, entering tonight’s action tied for sixth with Washington. Four of the final six games for New York come against playoff teams, including the final two at home vs. Atlanta.

The Valkyries sit as the second seed with their final five contests against clubs outside of playoff contention. Golden State lost its first three games against New York in its expansion season before finally breaking through with a 66-58 home triumph last September.

In the first two meetings this season, the Valkyries capitalized on that momentum with a pair of victories over the 2024 champions. Golden State dominated New York 87-70 as 5.5-point road underdogs on May 21 despite shooting 39% from the floor and took care of the Liberty once again in late June, 76-67.

Golden State limited New York to two of its six worst offensive ratings of the season — both below 100.

In 20 games against the Eastern Conference, the Valkyries have posted an impressive 16-4 mark. However, one of those defeats came in their only no-rest situation at Indiana on May 22 in a 90-82 setback.
