Minnesota Lynx vs. Connecticut Sun Prediction

I’m on the over in this game. I think the Lynx will score at will on Connecticut’s defense almost like everyone has been up to this point, as the Sun are just inept on the defensive end of the floor. However, the Lynx have also allowed Connecticut to cover in a couple of meetings this season and rather than leave the backdoor open, I just think this ends up being a higher-scoring game so give me the over.
