🏀 Valkyries vs. Aces Prediction: WNBA Picks for Sunday, June 21
The Las Vegas Aces (11-4) will look to maintain their head-to-head dominance over the Golden State Valkyries (10-6) during Sunday's showdown at 4 p.m. ET at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas on CBS.
The Aces, who are among the favorites in the latest WNBA championship odds, have won five straight over the Valkyries dating back to last year. They are 3.5-point favorites to pick up a third win in this season series, and I'm willing to back them in my Valkyries vs. Aces. prediction.

🏆 Who will win Valkyries vs. Aces?
I predict the Aces will defeat the Valkyries by six points in Sunday's latest rivalry matchup. Las Vegas has won five straight against Golden State since last year, including two wins by a combined 15 points this season. The Aces have too much star power against a Valkyries team that doesn't have an obvious person to turn to in crunch time.
Score prediction: Aces 88, Valkyries 82
💰 Valkyries vs. Aces prediction & best bet
Aces -3.5 (-115)
The Aces have had the Valkyries' number in this matchup over the last two seasons. Since losing the first meeting, Las Vegas has won five straight and covered the spread in each of the last four battles.
There are a lot of reasons why the Aces are well-equipped to give the Valkyries problems. But the primary reason is A'ja Wilson, who has had at least 28 points and 14 rebounds in both matchups this year. Golden State has no answer for her.
Given the Aces' form (7-1 over their last eight games), I'm confidently laying the points on Sunday.
🔥 Best Valkyries vs. Aces player prop bet
A'ja Wilson double-double (-137)
I'm running to BetRivers to place a double-double ticket on Wilson. That shop is charging -137 for this ticket when some of our best sportsbooks like FanDuel have the same prop listed at -185.
Wilson has made the most of the Valkyries' soft interior presence. She's averaging 28 points and 14.5 rebounds per game against Golden State this year, which is 2.2 more points and 6.3 more boards than her season averages.
Rather than touch inflated props (her rebound line is 10.5), I'll grab Wilson's double-double odds at -150 or better. Wilson has notched four double-doubles in the last five head-to-head meetings with the Valkyries.
🚀 Valkyries vs. Aces same-game parlay
I'm banking on Wilson to lead the way in another Aces' win over the Valkyries on Sunday. Of Las Vegas' 11 wins this year, six have resulted in both teams clearing the closing total. The Aces would prefer to play in a back-and-forth offensive battle, which is why I'm comfortable taking the Over in my projected game script of today's matchup.
