Minnesota Lynx vs. Atlanta Dream Prediction

I’m on the Lynx in this one. The Lynx are still trying to lock up the one-seed in the playoff field and home court and a win here goes a long way towards that. Atlanta’s also fighting for home court in the first round, but I feel like the Lynx are the much more consistent and reliable team and I think this is a good spot to back Minnesota for the win. Give me the Lynx.
