Phoenix at Golden State

June 9, 2026
img10:00 PM Eastern

When Golden State beat Phoenix by 16 back in May, the Mercury were without Monique Akoa Makani — their starting point guard and the defensive backbone of their perimeter scheme. Akoa Makani has since returned after finishing her season in France, and the Phoenix that travels tonight is a different unit from the one that absorbed that early blowout. The Valkyries are a legitimate team — Veronica Burton leads a balanced attack, their net rating ranks second in the WNBA, and they rank second in offensive rating and third defensively — but they are also coming off back-to-back losses to Minnesota and Las Vegas, games where they couldn't put quality opponents away. A spread this large requires sustained dominance over 40 minutes, and Golden State hasn't shown that against the league's better competition. Phoenix just won back-to-back road games and is getting healthier. The number doesn't account for how much this roster has changed since the first meeting. Phoenix is the play on the spread.

Golden State at Phoenix

August 22, 2025
img10:00 PM Eastern

Golden State is in triple revenge as it will try again to defeat the Mercury, who won the latest meeting 98-81 on Tuesday. The Valkyries came up short even while hitting 12 of 35 3-point attempts. The game soared OVER by 34 points, and Phoenix has allowed an average of 85.5 points in its past four games, going OVER in three of them. Golden State is 4-1-1 ATS in its past six games, and it has gone OVER three of four. The Valkyries have covered five of six road games and four of five overall following a loss. They have covered seven out of 12 on the road. This is a tough scheduling spot for Phoenix, which played at Las Vegas last night and lost by 22 points while shooting 31 percent in one of its worst performances of the season. Take the Valkyries and the OVER.
