Lynx Host Valkyries in Key WNBA Seeding Match

A Minnesota win would secure the league’s top seed before the season pauses for the FIBA World Cup break.

Overview

  • The Golden State Valkyries play the Minnesota Lynx at the Target Center in Minneapolis on Monday, Aug. 24, with tip-off at 8 p.m. ET and national broadcast on USA Network.
  • Minnesota enters at 31-7 and is riding a six-game winning streak while going 9-1 over its last 10 games and scoring more than 94 points per game in that stretch.
  • Golden State is 25-11 and has dropped two straight games, and the team will look to scorer Gabby Williams, who averages about 15 points per game, to regain form.
  • The Lynx beat the Valkyries 77-66 in their most recent meeting on Aug. 20, a game in which Olivia Miles led Minnesota with 20 points and continues to pace the team in points and assists.
