ASA WNBA Perfection Play! 5-0 All Sports Run!

Analysis: ASA WNBA play on Golden State Valkyries -5.5 at Portland Fire, 7pm ET - With just 5 games to play in the regular season the Valkyries likely won’t catch Minnesota for the top spot in the standings, but they still have plenty to play for. Golden State leads the Aces by only 1.5 games and the Fever by 2.5 for the two-seed. Portland on the other hand has been eliminated for a while now and we expect a letdown here after a big upset in Atlanta on Friday night. The Fire beat the Dreams as a +12.5-point underdog. Both teams have been on the road recently, but the Fire’s schedule is worse. Since Aug 14th the Fire have played 5 of six games away from home and as we just mentioned were in Atlanta on Friday. Golden State has played 4 straight on the road but have one extra day rest with their last game coming on Thursday. The Valkyries are 13-6 SU on the road this season and have won 5 of their last six. Golden State has an average plus/minus this season of +6.9PPG, Portland’s +/- is -4.2PPG. While these two teams have similar offensive ratings (GST 7th, POR 8th), defensively they are completely different. The Valkyries have the best defensive rating in the league at 99.9, the Fire are 14th in the league at 112.4. That will be the difference in this one and we have the Valkyries by double-digits.
