Prediction for Game 2 of Lynx versus Valkyries in WNBA playoffs: Forecasts, odds, top wagers
Minnesota Lynx Take Commanding Lead in Playoff Series
The Minnesota Lynx have asserted their dominance in the WNBA playoffs, securing the top seed and a win in Game 1 of their series against the Golden State Valkyries by a significant margin of 29 points.
The Lynx present too many mismatches against the expansion team, with their strong record against the spread (ATS) standing at 3-1-1 against the Valkyries. This superiority has led betting analyst Doug Kezirian, a contributor with over two decades of experience in the betting space, including 11 years at ESPN, to favour the Lynx in the ongoing series.
Kezirian's next play is to bet on the Minnesota Lynx to win Game 2 by 10.5 points, with the Lynx currently 10.5-point favourites in the match. This bet can be placed at the BetMGM Sportsbook, with odds of -110.
The Valkyries, despite finishing the regular season with the second-best record against the spread (27-16-1), have struggled to respond effectively after losing the series opener. Their coach, Natalie Nakase, is a strong candidate for the Coach of the Year award, but the Lynx's focused mindset after losing in last year's WNBA Finals may prove to be a formidable obstacle.
The game, a best-of-three series, is set to take place in San Jose, not San Francisco, due to a scheduling conflict. The total points for the game have been set at 151.5.
It is worth noting that Kezirian has documented success in betting, with a 63-50-1 record against the spread in this sports section, a 14th place finish in the 2022 William Hill College Football Challenge, and a $297K win on the 2021 NFL Draft. The website Betting, where Kezirian is a contributor, has a reputation for trustworthiness.
As the series progresses, the Minnesota Lynx will look to build on their strong start and secure a place in the next round of the WNBA playoffs. The Golden State Valkyries, meanwhile, will need to find a way to close the gap and mount a comeback.
