Golden State Valkyries vs. Atlanta Dream preview

After a great month with eight wins and three losses in June, the Golden State Valkyries have backtracked this month. The franchise has lost six of its eight games so far and has one win in its last five games. Furthermore, their loss in the previous contest was a shocking one as they were defeated 95-64 by the bottom-placed Connecticut Sun.

In terms of individual performances, Kayla Thornton has continued to impress for the Valkyries. Making her first-ever WNBA All-Star appearance this term, the forward averages 14.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game. However, she has been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing a surgery.

The Atlanta Dream have had a rollercoaster of a month — flashes of promise mixed with frustrating inconsistency. They’ve gone 4-4 in July, struggling to string wins together. But momentum might be shifting, as they’re now riding a two-game win streak and just became the first team to hand the Lynx a home loss at Target Center.

The Dream has five players averaging double digits this season, but the pick of the bunch has to be Allisha Gray. Averaging 18.7 ppg, 5.6 rpg and 3.9 apg, the guard has continued to deliver for her team. Additionally, Rhyne Howard has provided great support as well, recording 16.5 ppg, 5.0 rpg and 4.5 apg.

Allisha Gray should be the favored pick for the Atlanta Dream. The All-Star has been their best player this season and offers odds of -108 for over 17.5 points scored. She currently averages 18.7 ppg and should reach the figure against a struggling Valkyries team.

The Golden State Valkyries will look to return to winning ways on Tuesday, but will face a tough challenge in Georgia. The Atlanta Dream are high on confidence after their win against the Lynx and should make light work of Golden State.
