Minnesota Lynx (7-2) and Golden State Valkyries (6-3) will clash in the Western Conference on Thursday night at Target Center. The Lynx have managed to overcome their shaky start to the season to go on a five-game winning streak and sit on top of the conference standings. They’ll be feeling confident ahead of this game after blowing out the Mercury 77-111 on Monday night. This was their fifth straight win on the road this season.
Golden State Valkyries, meanwhile, will know that they have an uphill battle to defeat the in-form Lynx. The Valkyries are struggling to win consistently this season, especially against elite teams in the league. They bounced back from their 10-point defeat against the Aces to defeat Portland Fire 95-77 on Tuesday night. This was the third win in their four-game home stand, with the Valkyries now preparing to face the Lynx and the Aces on the road.
