img10:00 PM Eastern

Minnesota started slowly, trailing 28-21 after one quarter, but the Lynx then woke up and poured it on the rest of the way as they defeated the Valkyries 101-72 on Sunday. Napheesa Collier led the Lynx with 20 points, followed by five other double-figure scorers. The Lynx held Golden State to 33.9 percent shooting. Minnesota has won all five meetings this season, including by an average of 24 points in the last two. The Lynx are on a 13-3 ATS run against Western Conference foes, and the Valkyries have covered just one of their past five games. The playoff experience of the Lynx will make a huge difference against expansion Golden State. Minnesota shot 51 percent and hit 10 of 24 3-point tries in Game 1. Lay the points with the Lynx.
