Wings vs. Valkyries Preview
The Dallas Wings are playing some of the most dominant basketball in the WNBA. Backed by a star-studded backcourt featuring Arike Ogunbowale, Paige Bueckers, and top draft pick Azzi Fudd, Dallas is an absolute nightmare to game-plan for offensively.
The Wings are coming off a statement 96-66 blowout win against the Las Vegas Aces on June 15. However, it isn't just their offense turning heads; Dallas heavily upgraded its identity on the other side of the ball by signing reigning WNBA Co-Defensive Player of the Year Alanna Smith in free agency. Their blend of elite scoring and high-level defensive length makes them a legitimate championship contender.
The Golden State Valkyries, playing in their second season as a franchise, continue to prove they can hang with the league's best. They enter Wednesday fresh off a commanding 78-58 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks.
Led by 2025 Most Improved Player Veronica Burton and defensive stalwart Gabby Williams, the Valkyries rely on an aggressive, opportunistic style of defense to fuel their halfcourt offense. While they have elite depth, Golden State will be tested against a Dallas team that boasts unparalleled perimeter length and defensive anchors.
Wings vs. Valkyries Prediction
Our PRO Projections have identified a significant betting edge on Golden State forward Cecilia Zandalasini.
Zandalasini is coming off a 10-point performance against the Los Angeles Sparks on Monday, where she shot 5-of-12 from the field. That double-digit showing artificially inflated this line. Prior to that game, she had a string of low-scoring outings, netting 2 points against Seattle, 0 against Phoenix, and 4 against Las Vegas.
Zandalasini’s role in the Valkyries' rotation makes her a low-ceiling scorer. Over her last four games, her playing time has fluctuated widely, routinely ranging from 13 to 18 minutes. Averaging a modest 7.1 points per game on the season, she rarely sees the offensive usage required to consistently push past this number.
Scoring will be at a premium against a long, athletic Dallas defense. With Alanna Smith patrolling the paint and a relentless rotation of physical wing defenders, spot-up shooters like Zandalasini will find open looks incredibly hard to come by.
Zandalasini has stayed under 8.5 points in three of her last four outings. Facing one of the league's most imposing defenses, expect her production to slide back to her season baseline. Trust the PRO Projections and look to lock in the Under.
Best Bet: Cecilia Zandalasini Under 8.5 Points
