The Minnesota Lynx and Indiana Fever face off on Sunday in a WNBA showdown at Target Center. When these two teams faced off on May 10th it was the Fever that secured the 82-76 victory.
The Lynx come into this game with a 3-10 record overall, and it might be getting tougher heading into this game. In the last game against the Washington Mystics, the offense only managed 59 points and that led to the defeat. The Lynx are averaging 77 points, while their defense is giving up 84.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 10th in the league, while their defense is ranked 9th. This is a Lynx team that has banged up heading into this game and now their top player Sylvia Fowles is out with an injury. Kayla McBride is averaging 13.9 points while shooting 36.9 percent from the field.
On the other side of this matchup is the Fever who sit with a 3-12 record overall and in the last game against the New York Liberty, they were defeated 97-83. The Fever are averaging 75.3 points, while their defense is giving up 85.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 11th in the league, while their defense is ranked 11th. Kelsey Mitchell has been the top player for the Fever, averaging 17.8 points while shooting 43.1 percent from the field and 33.5 percent from behind the three-point line. In this game, if the Fever want a chance, they are going to need to find a way to get the offense going.
The Lynx are so banged up right now, that they are going to have a hard time being competitive against anyone against Fowles. In the last game, the Lynx scored only 59 points, and they are going to have issues getting higher than that. Back the Fever to cover the spread.
