Indiana Fever vs. Minnesota Lynx Prediction

I’m on the Fever and the points here. I just don’t think there’s a gap like this between these two teams in their current form. Minnesota is the best team in the WNBA, but the Fever are still one of the best in the East and this could be a WNBA Finals preview. Give me the Fever and the points.
