Toronto vs. Golden State Picks and Prediction
Toronto is really searching for a way to stop the bleeding after five straight losses, but it won’t be easy, as they’ll need a big performance at home to knock off Golden State, a team that comes in as the favorite. On the other side, the Valkyries will likely lean on their defense from the opening tip, trying to set the tone early and take control. If they can do that, they’ll have a strong chance to earn a statement win on Sunday and push the Tempo’s skid to six in a row. Final Score Prediction, Golden State Valkyries win but fail to cover the spread, 88-81.
