Minnesota Lynx vs. Golden State Valkyries Prediction

I’m on the Valkyries and the points here. It’s the final home game of the regular season for the Valks before the playoffs, and Golden State will be on the road in the first round of the playoffs, it’s just a matter of where they’re going. On the flipside, Minnesota’s clinched 1st overall, so there’s nothing but pride to play for. That hasn’t stopped them from showing up since they’ve clinched a few games ago, but I still think that Golden State with home court here and slightly more on the line, covers with the points at the very least. Give me the points with Golden State here.
