Previewing the Valkyries vs. Phoenix Mercury Matchup

Tonight at 10:00 p.m. Eastern, the Valkyries host the Phoenix Mercury at Valhalla in San Francisco, Golden State. The Valkyries, currently favored to win, have seen their opening line shift from 6.5 to 8.5 points. The total for the game stands at 161.5. If the season were to end today, the Valkyries would make the playoffs with a record of 6 wins and 5 losses. However, the Phoenix Mercury, despite their struggles, have recently secured back-to-back wins and are playing the third game of a four-game road trip during the Commissioner's Cup.
