Valkyries vs. Lynx Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Thursday, June 4

An early-season favorite in the WNBA has been established. The Minnesota Lynx have the league’s best record despite missing former league MVP Napheesa Collier (ankle) following a surgical procedure in March.

Rookie Olivia Miles has joined existing explosive scorers like Courtney Williams and Kayla McBride to form an offense that is second in the WNBA in PPG (90.1). With Collier’s pending return later this month, the Lynx defense will receive a huge boost, too.

Yet, it’s the perpetually overperforming Golden State Valkyries that are short road underdogs, as these two teams vie for positioning in the Commissioner’s Cup — the W’s in-season tournament. 

Golden State is 6-3 and has integrated offseason signing Gabby Williams with ease.
