Golden State @ Minnesota picks

The Minneosta Lynx have won straight up and covered in six straight home games. They’re in a great position to build on their previous success against the Golden State Valkyries. Minnesota secured an 11-point road victory as a 14.5-point favorite in early June and oddsmakers believe Golden State can make the contest closer in round two. However, the Valkyries have been an up-and-down team against the spread on the road this season.

For the second time in her career, Williams is averaging better than six assists as she’s dished 6.1 per game through 17 games of the 2025 season. Williams has handed out at least six dimes in 10 of 17. She’s finished with six or more assists in three straight contests and four of her last five. Williams handed out five assists in her first meeting with the Valkyries, as the Lynx cruised to a 14-point victory. The Valkyries have found their groove lately, so expect this to be a closer contest, offering Williams more opportunities to facilitate.
