Valkyries vs. Sun Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Wednesday, August 26

Golden State finally slayed the demon with its victory over Minnesota, while avoiding its first three-game losing streak of the season.

The Valkyries sit one game ahead of the Aces for the second seed in the WNBA playoffs with six of their last seven contests coming against teams eliminated from playoff contention.

Connecticut will be heavy underdogs in each of the next six games, all against teams heading to the postseason. The Sun have covered the spread in four of the last seven outings since a five-game skid in late July.

Golden State owns a 4-1 mark against Connecticut, including a pair of blowouts in 2026. The Valkyries dominated the Sun in San Francisco (97-70) in late May, followed by a 79-64 triumph in Connecticut.

In 19 games against the Eastern Conference, the Valkyries have won 15 times. However, Golden State lost its last outing against an Eastern foe, falling at Chicago last Friday 73-70 as 6.5-point road favorites.
