The Wings have been flying high this season, but the Valkyries remain their absolute kryptonite. Veronica Burton & Co. smell blood in the water and are primed to exploit this matchup yet again.<\/p>\n

The Golden State Valkyries are streaking, looking for a season-best fourth win in a row when they host the Dallas Wings on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Dallas is currently playing its best ball of the season, having won six of its last eight, but the books have them as 2.5-point road dogs.<\/p>\n

Golden State has won three straight in this head-to-head, and my\u00a0Wings vs. Valkyries predictions and WNBA picks<\/a> has their stifling defense extending their win streak on Wednesday, June 17.<\/p>\n

Wings vs Valkyries prediction
\nWings vs Valkyries best bet:\u00a0Valkyries -2.5 (-115)<\/p>\n

The Golden State Valkyries<\/a>‘ defense has been the WNBA’s best, allowing a league-low 78.3 points per game and holding half its opponents under 80 points.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Wings<\/a> have averaged 88 points over its last three games, but the Wings haven’t consistently solved this matchup, shooting just 42% in the last three meetings and failing to top 81 points in four all-time matchups.<\/p>\n

Even with the additions of Azzi Fudd<\/a> and Jessica Shepard,<\/a> I’m not ready to trust Dallas against this defense. Until the Wings prove they can crack the Valkyries’ scheme, I’d back Golden State up to -3.5.<\/p>\n

\"Covers\" COVERS INTEL: Dallas guard Paige Bueckers<\/a>, who currently ranks eighth in scoring, could be in for a rough night, considering the blanket job Golden State put on\u00a0WNBA leading scorer Kelsey Plum<\/a>\u00a0last game. Plum could only muster nine points in the blowout loss.<\/p>\n

With Bueckers getting the star treatment, top pick Azzi Fudd has a chance to get free against that Golden State defense. It\u2019s a generous 12.5 scoring line, considering she\u2019s scored at least 17 points in three straight.<\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t hammering Veronica Burton<\/a>\u2019s prop bet right now, you are leaving free money on the table.<\/p>\n

Burton isn’t just shooting the lights out this season \u2014 hitting at a blistering 35.5% clip from beyond the arc \u2014 she has turned cash-strapped home games into her personal ATM. She has cashed the “2+ made threes” prop in three straight home games and a jaw-dropping five of her last seven outings overall.<\/p>\n
