Lynx vs. Valkyries Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Friday, June 19

Golden State put together a memorable expansion season in 2025, posting a 23-21 record and clinching a playoff berth. The Valkyries lost both games in the opening round to the Lynx, a team they have not figured out how to beat yet.

And that’s not hyperbole because Golden State went 0-6 against Minnesota last season and already lost the first meeting back on June 4. The Lynx defeated the Valkyries 87-84 at Target Center, but Golden State limited Minnesota to 39.6% shooting from the floor.

Minnesota bounced back from its first road loss at Las Vegas to defeat a short-handed Los Angeles squad, 99-83 on Wednesday. Nine of the past 10 victories for the Lynx are by 15+ points with the lone outlier coming against Golden State.

The Valkyries ride a four-game hot streak, capped off with Wednesday’s 91-80 home triumph over the Wings. Golden State knocked down 12 treys, as the Vals lead the WNBA in 3-pointers made per game at 11.5.

The upcoming stretch for Golden State is a murderer’s row of opponents, facing Minnesota, Las Vegas, New York, and three matchups with Atlanta leading up to July 4.
