Lynx vs Storm Prediction

This is a lot of points for an early start, which could lead to sluggish play out of the gate. This is also a potential letdown spot for the Lynx after a tight competitive game against Golden State. However, the Storm are still down a lot of roster spots, and they’ve had serious issues scoring the ball. The Lynx are rolling at both ends of the court, and they’re not only winning games, but they’re 8-2 ATS. At some point, you keep backing the Lynx until the tickets stop cashing. Massive line and not my most favorite game on the card, but I’m rolling with the Lynx, who are quickly putting their name in the hat for best team in the league.
