Check the Sparks vs. Valkyries prediction for the WNBA matchup on May 23, 2025. See odds, betting picks, injury news, player props and a parlay.
Two expansion-energized squads with something to prove collide in Los Angeles on Friday night.
The Golden State Valkyries (1–1) are fresh off a gritty 76–74 win over the Washington Mystics — fueled by Veronica Burton’s 22-point, 9-rebound effort. Golden State may lack polish, but they bring effort and defense, forcing 17 turnovers and hitting 82% of their free throws in their last outing.
The Los Angeles Sparks (1–2) are still figuring things out, but flashes from Kelsey Plum (25 points, 6 assists) and Dearica Hamby make this team dangerous. However, they’ll need to clean up 16 turnovers and lock down defensively — especially on the perimeter.
