## Resource

Golden State Valkyries are on fire, riding a nine-game win streak into the All-Star break and positioning themselves as serious WNBA title contenders. They head to Phoenix to face a struggling Mercury team, who’s below .500 and needs a second-half surge to even sniff the playoffs. Valkyries have already beaten Phoenix twice at home and look to extend that momentum on the road. The Mercury, despite their Finals run last year, have struggled to cover spreads, especially at home as underdogs. Valkyries are favored by 5.5 points with a total of 155.5. Gabby Williams is questionable, but otherwise both teams are healthy. A key prop: Kahleah Copper going under 2.5 assists, given Golden State’s stifling defense. Prediction: Valkyries cover.
