Tempo vs Lynx Prediction
The Lynx can blow the Tempo off the court, but I’m not laying this number. The Lynx have yet to cover a number this month and just struggled to put the Tempo away at home a couple of days ago. The Tempo are scrappy offensively and have a player in Mabrey who puts fear in opponents’ hearts. Also, it looks like the Tempo are getting Kiki Rice back, which is a nice boost. Sabally and Harrison could also play, as they were questionable at the time of this writing. Give me the points.
