(WNBA) Valkyries (GSV) vs. Lynx (MIN),
Point Spread: -9.50 | -110.00 Lynx (MIN) (Home)
Result: Win
The Valkyries are coming into this game with a 9-7 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games with their only loss in that span coming against a good Liberty team by 3 points, but they have also played their last 5 straight games at home where they have been much better. They have been much worse on the road this year at 2-4 and they have been dominated in a lot of those games as well. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games on the road with 3 of those losses coming by 9+ points and their only win in that span was a win in OT against the Sparks who currently sit at the bottom of the Western Conference. Their offense has not been nearly as good in those road games either as their offense has failed to score 80+ points in 4 of their last 5 road games. They are going up against a Lynx team that is 15-2 this season and has the best record in the league right now. They have also been great at home all season as they are a perfect 9-0 there in regular season games. They did take 1 home loss this year in the Commissioner's Cup Final, but they bounced back at home in their last game with a 92-75 win against the Mystics and they have been a very dominant team all season. They have won 3 of their last 4 as well as 6 of their last 8 games and a majority of those wins have come by 10+ points. They have also won their last 6 straight regular season games at home by 10+ points, holding opponents under 80 points in all 6 of those and under 70 points in 4 of those 6 games. Their offense has also scored 90+ points in their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 5 games there. The Lynx are going to be hungry to get back on a hot streak after losing in the Commissioner's Cup Final and the Valkyries are due for some regression now that they are starting a road trip. The Lynx will cover the spread in this game.
