Prop Bets: Minnesota Lynx VS Golden State Valkyries 2025-09-06
"The Lynx Roar, the Valkyries Swoop: A Prop-Filled Showdown in San Francisco"
The Minnesota Lynx (32-9) roll into San Francisco as 7-point favorites against the Golden State Valkyries (23-18), but donât count out a team thatâs gone 9-4 ATS as a home underdog this season. The Lynx have the higher implied win probability (76%) per the moneyline, but the Valkyriesâ home-court magic and Napheesa Collierâs recent scoring slump might make this a closer call than the odds suggest. Letâs dig into the numbersâand the propsâbecause even a playoff-clinching Lynx squad canât escape the chaos of a 155-point total.
Key Stats & Odds
- Spread: Lynx -6.5 (-110) / Valkyries +6.5 (-110)
- Total: 155.0 (Even money)
- Moneyline: Lynx -316 / Valkyries +251
- Implied Win Probability: Lynx 76%, Valkyries 28.5%
The Lynxâs 161.6 PPG average vs. the Valkyriesâ 158.0? The total feels way too low. These teams have combined for 11.1 points OVER their average in matchups this season. Take the OVER 155.0 (-110) like itâs a free layup.
Player Props to Steal
1. Napheesa Collier O/U 21.5 Points (-106)
The MVP candidate is averaging 23.5 points in two games against Minnesota this year, but sheâs scored under 22 in three of her last four. With the Lynxâs defense ranked 6th in the league, this feels like a âbuy lowâ spot for the under.
- Veronica Burton O/U 7.5 Assists (-138)
Burton dished out 5 dimes in her last win but has eclipsed 7.5 assists in five of six games. Her -138 line is a steal for a player who thrives in the home arena.
- Collier Double-Double (+185)
Sheâs pulled this off 12 times this season, but her 7.5 rebound average vs. the Lynxâs elite rim protection (4th in defensive rebounding) makes this a dicey prop.
The Verdict
The Lynx are the better team, but the Valkyries have turned Chase Center into a spread-beating fortress. Take Valkyries +6.5 (-110) for the upset, and throw in Burtonâs assist over for a parlay. As for Collier? Letâs hope she doesnât go 0-for-her-shots and 0-for-her-assistsâagain.
Final Score Prediction: Minnesota 82, Golden State 76 (because math, and also because Lynx > Valkyries).
Place your bets, but donât blame me when Burton racks up 8 assists and Collier drops 22. Itâs all in the data. đđ„
