Storm vs Lynx Prediction
These teams just played each other on Monday, and we cashed easily as the Lynx are now 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a double-digit favorite. The Lynx have failed to cover their last 8 games overall. The Storm don’t win games, but they continue to play hard and compete, and it’s led to covers in 5 of their last 6 games. Dominique Malonga flirts with double-doubles nightly and is blossoming quickly into one of the best young players in the league. It’s also going to take time for Collier to adjust to this new lineup. I want the points again with the Storm.
