The 2025 WNBA season is underway with some great matchups taking place. In our Valkyries vs Liberty WNBA pick, Golden State will attempt to pull off a major upset against the dominant Liberty on the road.

Valkyries off to a Solid Start

The Valkyries are 2-2 to start their franchise history. Not being at the bottom of the standings is a real accomplishment for an expansion team, and Golden State seems poised to remain on the playoff bubble all season. That being said, they looked a lot less competitive in Tuesday’s loss to the Liberty. The Valkyries were overwhelmed by New York’s talent and struggled to keep up. They’ll aim to improve in the rematch.

Liberty On Track to Repeat

The Liberty improved to 4-0 with their thumping of the Valkyries on Tuesday. New York is one of the last two undefeated teams remaining, along with the Lynx. They boast a league-best +17.2 point differential, illustrating how much they have been dominating the competition. Their schedule remains on the softer side until late July when they first meet Minnesota. They’ll aim to take advantage of their current schedule.

Golden State Valkyries vs New York Liberty WNBA Pick

The Liberty beat the Valkyries by 28 points yesterday. That is information you must know while betting on this game. I can’t recommend picking Golden State straight up or trying to profit off the Liberty’s -1400 line. That being said, Golden State +14.5 spread is appealing. It’s unlikely they lose as badly once again with the experience of having played the Liberty under their belt. I see NY winning 85-75 and Golden State covering.
