SportsLine's Jimmie Kaylor locked in his picks, predictions, props, and WNBA best bets for the Golden State Valkyries vs. Phoenix Mercury game on Monday
The Valkyries tied the Mercury with 6.1 seconds to play, but Phoenix's Alyssa Thomas made 1 of 2 free throws with one tick left on the clock to beat Golden State 78-77 on Monday.
Down four with 15 seconds left, the Valkyries miraculously tied the game on two fadeaway baskets by French rookie Janelle Salaün. Needing just one more stop, the Valkyries were heading toward an extra period of basketball to decide, what was up to that point, one of the best games of the WNBA season.
The Mercury's schedule before the upcoming All-Star break consists of two road games against Golden State and Minnesota.
