The Lynx will be without DiJonai Carrington due to a shoulder injury.
Valkyries vs Lynx Prediction
The Lynx are going to be favored because they’re the best team in the league. It’s also going to be interesting to see how the Valkyries respond after clinching a playoff spot. Is this a letdown after possibly celebrating? Either way, the Valkyries are a tough out at home, where they’re led by the best crowd in the league. The Valkyries have also won four straight games, and they’re still fighting for seeding. While great, the Lynx don’t have anything to play for at this stage, and they’re down Carrington. I’ll take a stab with the points on Saturday night.
