Minnesota Lynx Preview

Alanna Smith’s play in the paint, averaging a team-high 1.9 blocked shots per game, has helped make the Lynx tough against any opponent. Kayla McBride is second in scoring, averaging 14.9 points per game, and Courtney Williams is third at 13.9 points per game while leading in assists, averaging 6.3 per game. The Lynx are shooting 47.6% overall and 38.4% from three-point territory.

Golden State Valkyries

Golden State is battling for a playoff spot in its first season in the WNBA. The Valkyries have won five straight and are 14–7 at home. Veronica Burton leads the team in scoring and assists, averaging 11.9 points and 5.9 assists per game. Kayla Thornton is out injured, which has hurt Golden State’s offense, but the team is second in the league in points allowed, helping to compensate for Thornton’s absence.

Golden State scores an average of 78.5 points per game and allows 76.4 points per game, which means the Valkyries are methodical with the ball and play tough defense at the other end. Tiffany Hayes is out along with Thornton, but the Valkyries have plenty of other strong defenders and enough scoring to win this matchup.

Lynx vs Valkyries Prediction

The Lynx are just too strong top to bottom and at both ends of the court to lose on Saturday. Golden State can keep this competitive with offensive rebounds and tough defense, yet Minnesota’s shooting and late-game execution will be the difference-makers. Look for the Lynx to win and cover the number on the road. Final Score Prediction: Minnesota Lynx win and cover ATS 80-65.
