The Golden State Valkyries (3-2) welcome the Connecticut Sun (1-6) to Chase Center in a WNBA 2026 matchup on Monday, May 25.
Both teams are coming off respective losses, but the Sun's situation is the more concerning one. They have now lost six of their seven games this season, with the most recent a 77-59 beatdown from the hands of the Seattle Storm.
The Sun's offense was in shambles again, especially in the second quarter of that game when they only scored seven points. As a team, they only shot 37.1% from the field, including a lowly 23.5% clip from the three-point line.
So it's not a surprise that the Sun ranks last in the league in offensive rating (95.2). They're not doing well on defense, either.
Meanwhile, the Valkyries are doing better as a team, winning three of their last five games. However, they're coming off a 90-82 loss to the Indiana Fever, where they also struggled on offense.
Tiffany Hayes and Kaitly Chen came off the bench to contribute 19 and 18 points for the Valkyries.
Despite the loss to the Fever, the Valkyries are still in good shape. They have a Top 5 offensive and defensive rating, a mark of a true contender.
