Tonight we will have the second game of the first round of the WNBA playoffs between the Golden State Valkyries and Minnesota Lynx teams. The game will be played at the SAP Center San Jose, an arena located in San Jose, California, in the United States.

The game is the second match of the first round of the WNBA playoffs, played in a best-of-three series, where the Lynx won the first game played at home without much difficulty. The Valkyries' strong defense paid off early in the first game between the teams, staying ahead on the scoreboard until halfway through the second quarter but unable to open up a significant lead. Then, the Lynx's offense stepped up and the team took the lead before halftime and only increased their lead in the second half of the game, winning 101-72.

Napheesa Collier, Natisha Hiedeman, and Kayla McBride were the top scorers of the game with 20, 18, and 17 points respectively, while Cecilia Zandalasini and Veronica Burton were the top scorers for the Valkyries, both with 14 points.

Our Golden State Valkyries vs Minnesota Lynx Prediction

Given the teams' campaigns, recent performances, and the score of the first playoff game, there is no doubt that the Lynx are the favorites, even playing away from home, mainly due to the Valkyries' offensive limitations. The Valkyries manage to impose themselves defensively at the beginning of games, but they lack the offense to stay ahead on the scoreboard for long.

Given the widespread favoritism for the visiting team, the odds for a simple victory are low, making it more interesting to look for an alternative market to get better values.

Therefore, our prediction for Golden State Valkyries and the Minnesota Lynx: Double Result: Minnesota Lynx / Minnesota Lynx

Prediction:

 

Half Time: Minnesota Lynx, Full Time: Minnesota Lynx
