🏆 Who will win Valkyries vs. Lynx?
I like the Lynx to beat the Valkyries by two points today, meaning there's value on the Valkyries at +4.5 (-105). The Lynx are a +100 betting favorite in the WNBA championship odds, while the Valkyries have the fourth-shortest odds at +1000, so it makes sense for Minnesota to be favored at home. However, considering the history between these teams, I would make the spread lower than 4.5.
Score prediction: Lynx 81, Valkyries 79
💰 Valkyries vs. Lynx prediction & best bet
Valkyries +4.5 (-105)
The Lynx are 9-0 against the Valkyries in their head-to-head history.
More importantly, though - since rosters change year over year - Minnesota is 3-0 in their meetings this season. The Valkyries are a top-four team in the WNBA, so the Lynx will likely struggle to beat them four times in a season.
Golden State has the first-ranked defense in the league (76.6 opponent points per game) and has won six of its last eight games - this game will be close. Valkyries +4.5 (-105) at FanDuel is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.
🔥 Best Valkyries vs. Lynx player prop bet
Olivia Miles Under 18.5 points (-102)
Miles has scored 20 or more points in three straight games, but she's lined at just 18.5 tonight, as the Valkyries' defense has made life difficult for her in recent meetings. She has attempted just 10 field goals in each of her last two matchups against Golden State.
While she scored 20 against the Valkyries on Wednesday, she went 8-of-10 from the field, and it's unlikely she shoots 80% again tonight. In their penultimate meeting, she scored just seven points. Miles Under 18.5 points (-102) at FanDuel is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.
