Two of the best teams in the W clash on Friday night in a heavyweight bout, and the home crowd will be rocking at “Ballhalla” as the Golden State Valkyries host the Minnesota Lynx.
Janelle Salaun has found her stroke from beyond the arc, and my Lynx vs. Valkyries predictions expect her to stay hot from downtown and cash a plus-money three-pointers prop.
Read on in my WNBA picks to see why I’m betting on Salaun, Veronica Burton, and rookie sensation Olivia Miles to make it rain in a high-scoring matchup at Chase Center.
Lynx vs Valkyries prediction
Lynx vs Valkyries best bet: Janelle Salaun Over 2.5 made threes (+160)
Golden State Valkyries second-year forward Janelle Salaun ranks fifth in the league in three-point attempts (6.7) and third in three-point makes (2.7).
Opponents have attempted a league-high 29 triples against the Minnesota Lynx this season, and 63.7% of Salaun’s shots come from beyond the arc. She’s shooting a career-best 40% from downtown, and she canned five threes in her first matchup with Minny.
Salaun has hit 3+ treys in 53.3% of her games this season, and this line should be priced closer to -114. Getting it at +150 is a fantastic value.
COVERS INTEL: Janelle Salaun is one of only four players in the W shooting 40% or better on five or more three-point attempts per game.
Lynx vs Valkyries same-game parlay
Veronica Burton is knocking down 1.6 triples on a career-best 36.9% shooting from long range. The V’s lead the W in three-point attempts and made threes, and they took 37 triples against the Lynx in their first matchup.
Burton has hit multiple treys in 60% of her games, making the +170 odds on this prop quite a value.
Both teams rank in the Top 3 in Offensive Rating and three-point percentage. The Lynx are 10-5 to the Over, while the Valkyries are 9-6, and each team is 7-3 across its last 10. I’ll play this one up to 169.5.
