My Prediction
Minnesota Lynx by 10Alright, folks, that's right—I said it. Now, let's dive into the nitty-gritty before you hightail it to your local bookie.
The Minnesota Lynx are sauntering into the hardwood series against Golden State Valkyries sporting a remarkable 6-0 winning streak this season. How very Lynx-ish of them!
The Lynx have some frightening players—Namely Napheesa Collier who isn't so much dribbling the ball as demolishing it. This season she's touted an average of 26.8 points per game with 7.8 rebounds and 3 assists. I'm not sure what we've done to deserve this, folks, but boy oh boy, what a season she's having! With her cohorts Courtney Williams and Kayla McBride—who did a solid job last year, by the way, averaging 14.9 points, they look like a treacherous trio.
Ah, and then we have the Golden State Valkyries. They've been having a touchy season, showing more signs of struggle than my Wi-Fi connection on a Sunday arvo. Currently standing #8 in the WNBA, let's give them credit for at least showing up, right? Janelle Salaun and Kayla Thornton are doing their best, averaging 13.8 and 12.2 points per game respectively this season. Tiffany Hayes tried to up the ante—her last season average was 9.7 points—I suppose every little bit helps!
But looking at the cold hard facts, Minnesota's got the momentum. They've been firing on all cylinders this season. The Valkyries, bless their hearts, just don't have the same firepower to match the Lynx. So, here's the skinny:
