Valkyries vs Mystics Pick

Both teams have found some success thus far this season as each is above .500 coming into Monday. Golden State, however, is the better of the 2 teams and will ride its recent hot hand. Golden State has the better defense and has upped its defensive pressure as of late, resulting in its current winning streak. With Golden State 1.5 games back of the Western Conference lead, expect them to continue their strong play against a short-handed Washington team. Take Golden State to extend their winning streak Monday night on the road as they do the work to pick up their 15th victory of the season in Washington against the Mystics.
