Sun vs. Valkyries Preview
I anticipate the pace of this contest will favor the under. The Valkyries will be without their superstar Kayla Thornton for the rest of the season. Thornton led the team with 14.0 points per game and 7.0 rebounds.
Golden State has struggled on offense lately, scoring 80 points or fewer in seven consecutive games. The Sun ranks last in the WNBA with 75.5 points per game and will continue their struggles tonight.
Additionally, Tiffany Hayes is in a strong position to cash her points prop over tonight. I love the value we are getting on this play at +136.
Hayes becomes the team's top scoring option in the absence of Thornton. The former UConn standout has averaged 11.9 points per game this season and will log north of 28 minutes tonight.
Best Bet: Under 154.5 and Tiffany Hayes 15+ Points
