Analysis
The Lynx are coming into this game with a 12-3 record this season and they have been on fire recently as they are one of the better teams in the league. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 10 of their last 11 games with their only loss in that span coming on the road against the Aces 100-97. Their offense has been on fire as they have scored 90+ points in their last 4 straight games, but their defense has also been struggling more recently as they have allowed 80+ points in 2 of their last 3 games now. They are going up against a Valkyries team that is 10-5 this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have won their last 4 straight games and their defense has been great in these as they have held opponents under 80 points in 2 of their last 3 games. They have been dominant in their last 2 games with both wins coming by 10+ points, coming off of a 91-80 win at home against the Wings, and they have been much better at home this season as well. They are 7-2 at home this year and they have won their last 4 straight games there with 3 of those wins coming by 10+ points. Their offense has also been much better in these with 87+ points scored in 3 of their last 4 home games. The Valkyries have never beaten the Lynx since coming into the league, but they are going to be very hungry to change that at home here and they just met the Lynx on the road 2 weeks ago, losing 87-84 in a very close game which they almost won. The Valkyries will cover the spread in this game.
