Lynx vs Wings Prediction
This is a spot where you’d think there’s value with the Wings and the points given the Lynx played yesterday. However, the Wings have been a different team in the second half, and now they’re dealing with an injury to Fudd. As I’ve said before, the Lynx are comfortably the best team in the league and will win the title assuming they’re healthy. This roster is loaded with several players capable of carrying the load any given night. The depth increases concern when on the end of a back-to-back. This squad is spooky good. I’ll lay the chalk with the Lynx.
