WNBA Same Game Parlay for Valkyries vs Mercury- Another Ballhalla special?

The 2025 WNBA season has been a tremendous success thus far. The rise of Golden State Valkyries (10-10) has upped the level. The franchise playing its first season has one of the best crowds in the W.

On the other hand, the Phoenix Mercury (14-6) have lived up to the expectations after a huge revamp. The trio of Alyssa Thomas, Satou Sabally, and Kahleah Copper can be too much to handle. But currently, Thomas is the only one doing the big lifting.

Can the Valkyries tackle the Mercury on the back of their unparalleled home venue? Here is my favorite Same Game Parlay.

WNBA Same Game Parlay Pick #1- Money Line: Mercury

The Valkyries are on a tear at home. They have a 7-3 record in Chase Center, winning six of their last seven games here. On the other hand, the Mercury have been terrific away from home, with a 5-3 return.

Anyway, betting against Valkyries on their home floor can backfire. However, I see their magic fading steadily, and the Mercury can eke a big win here despite the absence of Sabally and Copper.

Pick	BetMGM Odds
Mercury	-102
Thomas O 5.5 Assists	Undefined (Possibly around -150)
Thomas O 12.5 Points	Undefined (Possibly around -150)
Burton O 4.5 Assists	Undefined (Possibly around -130)

WNBA Same Game Parlay Pick #2- Alyssa Thomas O 12.5 Points

AT’s workload will be huge again without Copper and Sabally. She can score in bunches, as evident by her 15.3 points per game tally. Thomas scored 29 in the last battle against the Minnesota Lynx.

She will probably take more than 13 shots or so, and her 53% FG suggests promising returns on that count. But I wouldn’t opt for a 15+ points performance and opt for a 12+ points outing, considering she can often be conservative with shots.

WNBA Same Game Parlay #3- Alyssa Thomas O 5.5 Assists

Thomas’ biggest strength is her playmaking. The Mercury point forward has accumulated an impressive 9.5 assists per game. She has dished out fewer than 6 assists just twice in 15 matches.

I wanted to go for over 8.5 assists initially, but Thomas may take more shots than usual, bringing down her assists count. At any rate, going for “Over” 5.5 assists is a gimme here.

WNBA Same Game Parlay #4- Veronica Burton O 4.5 Assists

Burton is enjoying a career-best year by far. Her playmaking has been the biggest plus on the offensive end. She is dishing 5.4 APG and has delivered 5+ helpers in three straight games.

I initially wanted to go for 5+ assists here, but would settle for a 4+ performance considering the tight Mercury defense.

Overall, these parlays look as low-risk as it gets. I am confident they will all click. Fingers crossed.

I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
