Minnesota Lynx vs. Chicago Sky Prediction

I’m on the Lynx here. It’s a revenge spot for Minnesota after just losing to the Sky recently and while the Lynx can’t go a full season without Napheesa Collier, they’re doing a decent job holding down the fort without her and I think they can get some revenge in this matchup. The Sky are solid against lesser teams, but there’s going to be spots where the Rickea Jackson injury looms large and I think this could be one of those spots. Give me the Lynx.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Minnesota -1.5
