Minnesota Lynx vs New York Liberty Prediction
Oddsmakers continue to make the Minnesota Lynx underdogs, and I’m going to continue to grab those points. The Lynx are 13-5-1 ATS in their last 19 games as an underdog. The Lynx also haven’t lost 3 straight games all season. While everybody is going to remember the Ionescu shot, it was the Lynx who were in control of game 3 for three quarters. I expect the Lynx to bounce back and force a game 5 on Sunday. Give me the free bucket with the Lynx once again.
