| WNBA | (649) Golden State Valkyries at (650) Las Vegas Aces | 3:00pm EDT - Jun 6/2026 |
The PLAY: Las Vegas Aces -2.5 (-115)
Golden State just hosted Las Vegas this past Sunday. The second year Valkyries could not defeat the defending WNBA champions losing, 91-81.
Not surprising. Golden State is an above average team that made the playoffs during its inaugural season. But the Valkyries are not at the elite level of the Aces.
The situation is not good either for Golden State. This is the Valkyries' third game in five days. They just returned to the West Coast after losing a tight, 87-84, game to the Lynx in Minnesota this past Thursday night.
The Aces are well rested. They have been idle since Tuesday.
So I find this point spread too short.
