Minnesota Lynx (32-9) versus Golden State Valkyries (23-18) is an exciting Western Conference clash at the Target Center. The Lynx have already secured the No. 1 spot in the league and the conference this season with three games to go. However, they are limping towards the finish line, dropping four of their last six matches. The Lynx suffered a 10-point loss against the Aces on Thursday night, highlighting the need to improve their form ahead of the playoffs.
Golden State Valkyries, on the other hand, have been highly impressive in their debut season. The newcomers are fourth in the Western Conference and sixth in the WNBA standings with a .561 win percentage. The Valkyries are in great form, winning their last five matches, including victories against the Fever and the Liberty. They'll be keen to get another morale-boosting win against the Lynx and increase their confidence levels before the postseason.

Our Minnesota Lynx vs Golden State Valkyries Prediction
The Lynx will likely come into this crucial match as the betting favorites. They must keep winning games and carry momentum into the postseason. However, with the No. 1 seed bagged up, Cheryl Reeve may want to rest some of her players to avoid injuries and try new rotations. Conversely, the Valkyries still have their eyes set on a higher finish, sitting just a game behind the fifth-placed New York Liberty. They are also just 1.5 games ahead of the seventh-placed Seattle Storm. Overall, we expect them to edge out the relaxed Lynx at the Target Center.
Our prediction for Minnesota Lynx vs Golden State Valkyries: Golden State Valkyries for the win.
