Fever vs Lynx Injury Report

Anastasiia Olairi Kosu is out for the Lynx due to a foot injury. Olivia Miles is questionable with a calf injury.
Fever vs Lynx Prediction
It would help to know the status of Miles, who is questionable with a calf issue. If she plays, the Lynx should roll. If she doesn’t, I’d still lean Lynx, but it’s far more of a question. I continue to say the Lynx are comfortably the best team in the league, and you’re just not going to get them at lines this soft often. While the Fever score a ton, theyre not as sharp defensively and depth can be an issue at times. The Lynx are as complete a team as we’ve seen in a while, and they’re playing for the top seed. Check the status of Miles before betting, but I’ll still side with the Lynx.
