Overview
- The Golden State Valkyries enter Monday on a five‑game win streak and have already beaten Dallas twice this season, outscoring the Wings heavily from three and off the bench.
- The Dallas Wings travel to San Francisco at 20-15 trying to climb from the eighth seed with Washington a half‑game ahead in the standings.
- Dallas listed Azzi Fudd and Aziaha James out for the game while Jessica Shepard was upgraded to probable, leaving the Wings short on depth late in the season.
- Paige Bueckers is expected to shoulder more of the offensive load after limited fourth‑quarter usage in recent losses and with Dallas missing key scorers.
- A Wings win would likely move Dallas up a seed and ease pressure before a six‑game homestand, while a Golden State victory would cement the Valkyries’ control of the season series and reinforce their title contention case.
