What we said beforehand

The upcoming WNBA matchup between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries on October 24, 2026, at State Farm Arena is particularly intriguing as the Valkyries have historically dominated this series, winning all three previous encounters this season. With both teams showcasing strong performances, this game promises to be a compelling contest.

The Atlanta Dream enter this game with a home record of 30-14, while the Golden State Valkyries boast a slightly better away record of 32-12. The Dream's recent form has been impressive, particularly at home where they have a record of 9-1 in their last ten games, currently riding a two-game winning streak. In their last five outings, they have secured victories against the New York Liberty twice, and most recently, they defeated the Valkyries 97-71 on October 22.

This inconsistency may be a concern as they approach this critical matchup.

Home court advantage has been significant for the Dream, as they have averaged 88.1 points scored at home while allowing 76.8 points. The Valkyries, on the other hand, have a mixed away record of 2-2 in their last four away games, which could play a crucial role in the outcome of this fixture.

In terms of injuries, the Dream will be without Matilde Villa due to a coach's decision and Brionna Jones, who is out with a leg injury. The Valkyries will also miss Iliana Rupert, who is out for non-injury-related reasons. The absence of these players could impact the respective teams' strategies and effectiveness on the court.

The betting lines from DraftKings indicate that the Dream are favored with a spread of -5.5, while the total points line is set at 153.5, with both the over and under priced at -110. The moneyline shows the Dream at -192 and the Valkyries at +160, reflecting the Dream's status as the favorites in this matchup.

As the game approaches, viewers should keep an eye on key players. For the Dream, Allisha Gray leads in scoring with an average of 19.0 points per game, while Jordin Canada is pivotal in assists, averaging 7.3.

For the Valkyries, Gabby Williams leads with an average of 14.4 points, and Veronica Burton contributes significantly with 5.7 assists. Kiah Stokes has also been effective on the glass, averaging 5.8 rebounds.
