The Minnesota Lynx got a bounce back win in game 2, and it’s attractive seeing them in the underdog role. This will be just the fifth time since August where the Lynx are an underdog. With that said, you can argue the Sun have been the better team in this series through 2 games, as they won game 1 and had their chances in game 2. The Sun have won 7 of the last 10 games against the Lynx. The Sun are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. This series has gotten chippy, and the Sun are a physical team that feels in its element. I’ll lay the bucket.
