Mercury vs Lynx Prediction
As I said previously, the Lynx are the team to beat and are going to be favored the rest of the way. However, the Mercury are too talented to turn down in the underdog role. In fact, you can argue the Mercury should be up 2-0 in this series after falling apart in the fourth quarter of game 1.
The Mercury have outplayed the Lynx for much of this series. The Mercury have the talent to win the title, and they don’t appear scared of the Lynx, as AT and Sabally were popping off at the mouth in game 2. The Mercury aren’t backing down. The points are valuable, as this series feels like a toss-up right now.
