Portland at Golden State

Portland closed May on a tear — a win over Connecticut, followed by a 100-84 home performance against Indiana on May 31, where the Fire held Caitlin Clark to just six points while Megan Gustafson posted 22. This is not a soft expansion team still searching for its footing; Portland sits above .500 and is playing with genuine confidence heading into Commissioner's Cup play. Golden State is a talented group, but Gabby Williams and the Valkyries just got outscored by 16 in the third quarter of a 91-81 home loss to the Aces last night. Coming in flat and facing a Portland team riding real momentum is a combination the market hasn't fully priced. The Fire have shown they can win on the road against quality opponents. Portland pulls the upset at Chase Center tonight. Take the Fire.
