Wings vs. Valkyries Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Wednesday, June 17

Now on their third head coach in as many years, things are finally looking up for the Wings. New lead man Jose Fernandez has his group sitting at 9-5 this season, putting them on pace for the franchise’s best season since 2008, when it was the Detroit Shock. 

Dallas has a tremendous 112.0 offensive rating this year, fueled by the contributions of top guard Paige Bueckers. Since getting out to a 3-3 start to the 2026 campaign, the Wings have posted a 6-2 record. They’re currently the No. 3 seed in the West. 

Neck-and-neck with the Wings, however, are the Valkyries. They hold the same record as their Dallas foes, including a sparkling 6-2 home mark that’s tied with the Minnesota Lynx for the best in the conference.

In just their second year as an expansion club, Golden State and head coach Natalie Nakase are seeing legitimate year-over-year growth. Their win percentage is 12% higher than 2025’s .523 mark, largely thanks to a much-improved attack on the offensive side. The Valks are 6-3 since their 3-2 start out of the gate. 

Minnesota and the Las Vegas Aces are both 5-1 in the Commissioner’s Cup. Should both teams lose on Wednesday, the Wings-Valkyries game comes into play. In this particular scenario, a Dallas win sends the Lynx forward and a Golden State victory pushes the Aces ahead. 

The West representative will square off against the New York Liberty in the Commissioner’s Cup Championship.
