Tereza Valentova Outlasts Elina Svitolina in an Uplifting Thriller at Cincinnati
Elina Svitolina vs Tereza Valentova · Round 2 · Cincinnati Tennis.com - A nail-biting encounter...

The Los Angeles Sparks vs. Golden State Valkyries game is set to tip off at 10:00 p.m. ET on Monday, June 15, and will be televised on Peacock and NBCSN. According to PrizePicks Team Picks, the Valkyries enter as 3.5-point favorites on the spread and return a 1.47x payout if they win.
After struggling early recently having three straight losses, Los Angeles (8-6) is getting hot with three straight wins, including a 111-102 overtime win against the Mercury.
The Valkyries (7-5) are coming into this game with back-to-back wins for the third time this season but have yet to capture a third-straight win.
The Sparks are clinging to the eighth and final playoff spot, but their record could be smoke and mirrors. Los Angeles has benefited from an easy schedule; of their seven wins, six have come against teams currently not in the playoffs.
This upcoming schedule could either set them up as a contender or see them slide down the standings, as four of the next five games are against playoff teams (Golden State, Minnesota, New York, and Indiana).
The Sparks have veteran leadership but might be one or two pieces away from being a contender. G Kelsey Plum is having one of her best seasons, averaging a career-high 26.6 points.
The team also brought back former No. 1 overall forward Nneka Ogwumike, who previously played 12 seasons with the Sparks before spending the last two with the Storm. Ogwumike is having an exceptional season, averaging 16.2 points and a career-high 9.2 rebounds.
You could say many of these same things about the Valkyries. Of their eight wins, six have come against non-playoff teams, and they also have two bad losses to the Sky (4-9) and last-place Sun (2-13).
Their upcoming schedule gets brutal, with eight straight games against playoff opponents (Los Angeles, Dallas, Minnesota, Las Vegas, Atlanta 3x, and New York).
While they are one of the top defensive teams in the league, the Valks aren't consistent on offense, ranking just ninth in points per game (85.2).
The Valkyries enter Monday’s game as 3.5-point home favorites against the Sparks, returning a 1.47x payout if they win outright, via PrizePicks Team Picks.
