Valkyries vs Wings Picks
- Valkyries Moneyline (63¢, Kalshi)
The Valkyries are 4-0 against the Wings this season, including the playoffs. In the regular season, the Valkyries won by 11, 18, and 8 points, respectively, clobbering the Wings in Dallas on August 7. Now that the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx are out of the playoffs, the Valkyries are a win away from likely becoming the title favorite.
- Over 156.5 (52¢, Kalshi)
With the season on the line for the Wings, I expect them to come out swinging. In accordance with my upcoming Paige Bueckers prop pick, I like a high-scoring game. In Game 1, a whopping 184 points were scored with nine different players reaching at least 10 points.
Even in the loss, Dallas shot 47% from the field and 90% from the line. They were a stellar 22-for-40 on two-point shots while the three-ball was not falling (6-for-20). On the Golden State side, the Valkyries knocked down 18 of 36 threes and only missed two of 16 free throws.
With both teams shooting the ball well, I like the game to sail well over a modest 156.5 line. In the regular season, the first two matchups cleared 160 points.
Props for Valkyries vs Wings
- Page Bueckers 20+ Points (49¢, Kalshi)
Bueckers averaged 20.9 points per game this season, playing an efficient game from all three levels. She finished fourth in the WNBA in total points and fifth in points per game. She was hyper-efficient in Game 1, scoring 21 points on just 10 shots.
During the regular season, Bueckers scored 20 points in 26 of 42 games, posting a high of 34 against Toronto on July 10. The Valkyries held Bueckers to 15 and 17 points in their first two meetings, but the former No. 1 overall pick scored 21 in their final regular-season meeting.
- Cecilia Zandalasini to Make 2+ Threes (41¢, Kalshi)
Zandalasini is coming off the worst shooting season of her career, knocking down just 32.4% of her three-pointers. However, she entered 2026 as a career 41.2% shooter from three. She averaged 1.3 threes made per game, down from 1.9 in 2025.
She only cleared this mark in 12 of 37 games this season, but she sailed over with a stellar 4-for-5 outing on Sunday night in just 16 minutes. Zandalasini is a career 37.9% three-point shooter in the playoffs, and she has taken 14 threes over her last three playoff games.

2026 WNBA Playoffs
The Valkyries dominated Game 1 at home, winning 104-80. Three players pitched in at least 20 points, with Cecilia Zandalasini leading the way with 22 points and a quartet of made threes. Tiffany Hayes came off the bench with an electric 21 points, four assists, and two blocks in just 19 minutes.
The winner of this series will advance to face either the Las Vegas Aces or Indiana Fever. Last night, the Fever staved off elimination with a 10-point home win, powered by 27 points from Caitlin Clark.
With the previously favored Minnesota Lynx out of the picture, the Valkyries are de facto co-favorites with the Liberty and Aces in WNBA Championship Odds. The Liberty, Aces, Valkyries, and Dream are clustered between 3-to-1 and 4-to-1 in the title race. The Fever are at 8-to-1, while the Wings and Mystics are sitting at nearly 90-to-1.
