-The Sun’s recent form and recent player performance

-The Lynx’s recent form and recent play performance

-A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for today’s game between the Lynx and Sun.

Lynx Tied up the Series

After losing the first game of the series against the Sun, the Lynx sure looked good in the first game. The Lynx won each of the quarters outside the last quarter and they ended up winning 77-70. As a team they shot 45.2 percent from the field and 42.1 percent from behind the three point line. They allowed the Sun to only shoot 36.4 percent from the field and 25 percent from behind the three point line. Guard Courtney Williams was the top player putting up 17 points, five rebounds, and four assists. Naphessa Coiller only scored nine points, but also grabbed 12 rebounds and five assists. 

There were three different players that scored at least 11 points. In the first series, Naphessa Collier was impressive in the first series of the playoffs, and if she can even have a bigger game here, the Lynx should be in good shape. 

Sun Still Have Home Court

With the win in the first game, the Sun were able to pick up home court but the pressure is still on them to win the next two games so this doesn’t go back to Minnesota. In the first game of the series, the Sun gave up only eight points in the 4th quarter and that was enough for the Sun to win by eight points. In the last game they were competitive, but they didn’t shoot well enough from the field and that led to the defeat. The Sun were led by Alyssa Thomas who put up 18 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists. There were four different players that put up at least 14 points.

In this game the Sun are going to need to get the offense out to a fast start. If the offense gets out to a slow start, this is going to be a very long game, and the Sun are going to give home court advantage back to the Lynx. 

Minnesota Lynx vs Connecticut Sun Prediction

The Lynx are goin to have no issue running up the score. Naphessa Collier is going to have an IB game, and that is going to be the difference here. The Sun’s offense won’t have as balanced of attack and that will be the difference here. The Lynxare going to score at least 80 poins and the Sun are going to have no answer here as the Lynx are going to get the job done. Back the Lynx against the spread.
