Lynx vs Aces Prediction
The Lynx are coming off an inexcusable loss to the Sparks while the Aces are coming off an emotional last-second win over the Fever. The spot favors the Lynx, a team I’ve been high on from the jump, and I believe is the most talented team in the league. However, I can’t leave this many points on the table with the Aces. You never see the Aces as this big of an underdog. I’m not sure what’s going on here, but I’m not asking any questions. These are the top two teams in the league currently in my eyes, and 5.5 points feels too rich. Give me the Aces and the free buckets, as they’re more than capable of winning outright if they play at their expected level.
