The Minnesota Lynx will try to extend their winning streak to seven when they visit the Golden State Valkyries in a Valkyries Vs Lynx matchup on Wednesday. Minnesota already beat Golden State 77-66 on Aug. 20, and this is the fourth time this season the teams have met.
The Lynx enter at 25-11 overall and have been especially strong in conference play, going 20-2 against Western Conference opponents. That has kept Minnesota in a favorable position as the regular season moves into its final stretch.
Golden State is 10-7 against Western Conference teams and will again need to find a way to score more efficiently against one of the league’s tougher defenses. The Valkyries average 82.5 points per game, while Minnesota is third in the WNBA in points allowed at 83.4 per game.
Injury watch for Minnesota
Courtney Williams is day to day with a leg injury, which is the main injury note to monitor for Minnesota entering the game. The Lynx have enough balance to stay competitive without her, but her availability still matters because of the impact she brings to the guard rotation.
That kind of depth has helped Minnesota stay on track through a long season. The Lynx are not just winning games; they are controlling matchups within the conference and giving themselves a strong chance to keep climbing in the standings.
Golden State, meanwhile, will try to use home court to slow a Minnesota team that has already handled this matchup once this month. For the Valkyries, a win would not only end the Lynx run but also strengthen their position against Western Conference competition.
With both teams well aware of what is at stake, this game carries more than just one night of momentum. Minnesota is chasing its seventh straight victory, while Golden State is looking for a result that can improve its conference profile and change the tone of the series.
