Valkyries' streak snapped; No. 2 seed on the line
25 Sep
Summary
- Golden State Valkyries had six-game winning streak ended Tuesday.
- Valkyries are now vying to secure the No. 2 seed.
- Gabby Williams is favored for 12+ points against LA Sparks.
The Golden State Valkyries saw their six-game winning streak conclude on Tuesday, a surprising loss against the Portland Fire. This defeat puts their pursuit of the No. 1 seed in jeopardy. As the regular season nears its end, the Valkyries are now focused on solidifying their No. 2 seed position.
On Thursday, September 24, 2026, Golden State faces the Los Angeles Sparks, a team already eliminated from playoff contention. The Sparks' recent loss to the Las Vegas Aces keeps the No. 2 seed within reach for the Valkyries. A victory is crucial, as a loss coupled with an Aces win could alter home-court advantage in a potential WNBA Semifinals series.
Betting markets favor the Valkyries heavily, with odds at -11.5 on DraftKings Sportsbook. However, the Sparks, despite their record, have shown resilience, particularly at home. Gabby Williams is a notable player prop, with odds favoring her to score 12 or more points, reflecting her recent strong performances and expanded role for the Valkyries.
