Lynx Betting Preview
The Lynx sit with a 3-7 record overall but they have won back to back games against the Los Angeles Sparks. The Lynx were struggling in the first half on Friday, but in the second half the defense only gave up 29 points total, and that was enough to secure the 77-72 victory. Naphessa Collier was the top player for the Lynx averaging 25 points and grabbing six rebounds. The Lynx are averaging 78.7 points while the defense is giving up 83.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 9th in the league while the defense is ranked 9th. In this game the defense is going to need to step up, or this is going to be a long game.

Shane’s Free Pick
The Aces offense is elite averaging 91.8 points and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. The Lynx aren’t going to be keeping up, and this is going be an easy victory. I expect the Aces to finish with right around 100 points, and this is going to be a blowout victory. Back the Aces.
