Golden State Valkyries vs LA Sparks Betting Tips

Sparks forward Dearica Hamby is off to a strong start to the season, averaging 17.9 points and 7.4 rebounds per game. Expected to dominate the undersized Valkyries, Hamby could surpass her scoring prop of 16.5, having averaged 19.5 points in the previous two matchups against the Valkyries.

Valkyries guard Veronica Burton, meanwhile, has been impressive with 4.6 rebounds per game but has witnessed a dip in production against LA, averaging just two rebounds in their two meetings. It’s unlikely she will surpass her 4.5 rebound prop.

The Golden State Valkyries earned a shock dominant win over A’ja Wilson and Co. However, it seems unlikely that Natalie Nakase’s team will outperform the star-studded Sparks, who rank top five in the league in points per game, field goal percentage, assists per game, steals per game and 3-pointers made.
