Minnesota Lynx vs. Atlanta Dream Prediction

I’m on the Lynx here. I get the case to be made for the Dream who have been playing some solid basketball as of late. However, Napheesa Collier is questionable for this game so we could see her return and this is also a bounce back game for the Lynx, which is rare to begin with, but it’s also a revenge game against a Dream squad that handed the Lynx their lone home loss in the regular season so far. I’ll side with the Lynx here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Minnesota -3
