Lynx vs Fever Prediction
The Fever and the points are attractive with the way they’re playing and the offense humming. However, I’ve said for weeks now that the Lynx are comfortably the best team in the league at full strength, and they’re starting to flex their muscle during this winning streak. The Lynx are loaded with depth and are sharper at both ends of the floor compared to the rest of the league. This is a statement spot where I expect the Lynx to show up. The Fever have been hit or miss on the road. I’ll lay the chalk with the Lynx, a team I trust more than any.
