Connecticut Sun vs Minnesota Lynx Prediction

The Minnesota Lynx are off to a fine start, and they’re getting after it defensively, but it’s important to remember that their first two games came against the Seattle Storm. Games like this will give us a better idea of where the Lynx are as a team. As Ive said in the past, the Connecticut Sun are as consistent as any team in the league, and they usually win the games they’re supposed to win. The Sun have also won 8 of the last 10 games against the Lynx and have covered 6 of those games. The line is somewhat reasonable, and the Sun are easily more trustworthy. I’ll lay the points with the home team.
