Our Minnesota Lynx vs Golden State Valkyries Prediction

There is no questioning that Minnesota has been the best team in the league so far, but for an expansion team, Golden State is doing much better than expected. At the rate the Valkyries are going, they have a legitimate chance to make the playoffs in their first season.

The Valkyries have played the Lynx once this season, an 86-75 loss at the start of June. However, Golden State managed to cover the spread in this game, and on the season as a whole, they have covered in 11 of their 16 games.

The spread is slightly lower in this game, but given how the Valkyries have been able to keep the majority of their games close and how Minnesota tends to play down to their opponents, our Minnesota Lynx vs Golden State Valkyries prediction is: Golden State Valkyries +9.

Prediction:

 

Golden State Valkyries +9
