Golden State Valkyries vs Minnesota Lynx Prediction & Picks: Winning Game Angles

Golden State Valkyries play Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA on Thursday 20 August 2026. The bet we are looking at is Minnesota Lynx +3.5 on the Line. That is a points handicap bet. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled. It was priced at -189 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $15.30 if it lands. It is on at Chase Center in Golden State. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
