Lynx vs Sun Prediction
The Sun look like a team that’s rebuilding, and the Lynx obviously have the horses to blow the doors off if they wanted. However, the Lynx are still down one of their best players in McBride, and you have to question the motivation to lay the wood. Also, the Lynx are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games as a double-digit favorite. You’d have to go back to 2017 the last time the Lynx were favorites of 15 or more points. You just don’t see these sorts of lines in the WNBA often. This is too many points. While there’s a massive talent gap, I’m going to grab the buckets with the Sun.
