Golden State will have a revenge game for the first time in its history as the expansion Valkyries look for payback for an 84-67 loss to the Sparks in their season opener. The Valkyries come off a 76-74 win over Washington on Wednesday, even while shooting only 32 percent overall and 19 percent from 3-point range. Veronica Burton led four double-figure scorers with 22 points, and Golden State overcame a 30-point scoring night by the Mystics' Brittney Sykes. Los Angeles has lost its two games since that opener, including 89-86 at Phoenix, when the Sparks scored only seven points in the third quarter and never recovered. The Valkyries have gone UNDER both their games, and Los Angeles has lost eight of 10 overall, and it is 0-5 at home dating to last season. Take the points with the Valkyries and the UNDER.

New Los Angeles coach Lynne Roberts comes from the college ranks and is doing a terrific job in Utah. She's good at identifying matches, preaching high-value shots, and the 3-pointer. Rookie Sarah Ashlee Barker should fit in, the ninth overall pick, a strong 3-point shooter, and an excellent defender beyond the arc. In addition, three-time WNBA All-Star guard Kelsey Plum joins the team, averaging 20.2, 18.7, and 17.8 points the last three years with Las Vegas. She has close ties to Los Angeles forward Dearica Hamby, with the two winning a title in Las Vegas in 2022. The 6-3 Hambry averaged 17.3 points and 9.2 boards with the Sparks in 2024. The Golden State Valkyries are the WNBA's first expansion team since 2008. The frontcourt looks like a weak spot with Kayla Thornton (5.5 ppg), Monique Billings (4.9 ppg, 4.2 rpg), and Temi Fagbenle (6.4 ppg, 4.7 rpg). Play Los Angeles.
