Aces vs Lynx Prediction
I wouldn’t talk you off the ledge if looking at the Lynx and the points, as they’ve been the most impressive team through 12 games, are 10-2 ATS, and are undefeated on the road. I get it. However, the Aces are finding their form, and this is just a team I’m not eager to bet against once they have things rolling. They’re also an experienced championship roster that knows how to get up for big games. This is a statement. If the Lynx were full strength, I would consider it, but Phee is still out. I’d need more points to bet against the Aces at home. I’ll lay the bucket in this must-watch game.
