Lynx vs Wings Prediction
You can talk yourself into the points given the way the Wings are playing, but this is a step up in competition for a young team, and I’m just not there yet with them. The Wings still struggle defensively, and they have already lost at home this season to the Lynx. The Lynx are rolling at both ends of the floor and aren’t a team I’m excited to step in front of. The Lynx look fantastic, and they don’t even have Collier yet. Buy stock in the Lynx while you still can, folks. The line feels soft. Give me the Lynx.
