Sun vs Lynx Prediction
I don’t want to back the Sun as much as the next person, and every time I show this team any attention, they fall flat on their face. However, the Lynx have lost three straight games, and this is a terrible spot fresh off a Liberty game and with the Fever on deck. It’s an early start on the East Coast for a team with a Central Time body clock. It’s just a disgusting matchup that even an experienced team like the Lynx could just coast. A ton of points. I’d grab them if forced to pick a side, but yuck.
