Tonight's Sun vs. Valkyries predictions are bullish on Kayla Thornton leading the way for Golden State.
Kayla Thornton is having a career-best scoring season with the first-year Valkyries, and that success will continue against the visiting Sun tonight.Photo By - Imagn Images. Kayla Thornton has been a major part of the Valkyries success in their inaugural WNBA season.
Sunday’s fifth and final WNBA game will be between the Connecticut Sun and Golden State Valkyries at the Chase Center. The league’s newest team has been surprisingly good in its first season so far and could be a legitimate playoff team already.Kayla Thornton is having a career year in her age-32 season. The former New York Liberty forward has been thrust into the spotlight with a new team and hasn’t shied away from center stage. Thornton has averaged more than 10.0 points per game once in her career, but has thrived as the first option on theShe’s strung together an impressive streak of offensive performances in June, scoring at least 15 points in five straight. She’s averaged 19.0 points while shooting 45.7% from the field and 41.0% from deep during that span. Only the Chicago Sky have a worse scoring defense than the Sun this season. The visitors are giving up 87.6 points per game to opposing teams. Golden State’s depth will make it tough for Connecticut to key in on Thornton. She has all the tools to thrive and can take advantage of a favorable matchup.Veronica Burton is having a career year of her own as Golden State’s top playmaker, averaging 5.2 assists per game, but could have a tough time reaching six against the Sun. Burton has fallen short of six assists in eight of the 12 games she’s appeared in. She’s recorded fewer than five dimes in her last two appearances. Bettors shouldn’t let her impressive peak games blind them from the likelihood of her having duds here and there. She’ll get plenty of opportunities for assists, given the depth around her, but she’s bound to have lows and is trending in the wrong direction. The Valkyries have quietly been one of the WNBA’s best teams at home, going 4-1 against the spread while covering four consecutive home games since getting blown out by the Los Angeles Sparks in their season opener. : Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
