-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 Have Home Field Back

The Lynx have the home field advantage back, but they are hoping they don’t even have to return home if they are able to pick up a victory in this game. The Lynx had an elite offensive performance in the last game, scoring 90 points and ending up winning by nine. Naphessa Collier has a huge playoff, and on Friday, they put up 26 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists. 

Not only did Collier have a huge game it was a balanced attack with four differnet players putting up at least 11 points. In this game if the Lynx’s offense can get out to a fast start, they are going to have a good chance to pick up the victory and close out the series. 

Are the Sun Blowing It?

After winning the first game of the series the Sun looked like they could be in good shape to advance to the WNBA Finals. The last games the Sun scored 81 points, but the defense gave up 90 points and that led to the defeat. At the end of the first quarter they were down 23-16 and they weren’t able ot fight back on the way to the defeat. All five starters did score at least 13 points, but it was just the defense that was awful. Brionna Jones was the top rusher putting up 21 points, five rebounds, and four assists. 

The Sun can’t be giving up 90 points and expecting to find success. If they want any chance in tis game they can’t fall behind early because teh Lynx already have all the confidence heading into this game.

The Lynx are going to close out this series here. The Lynx are an elite offensive team and the yare going to have no issue running up the score here. Collier is going to have another huge game.
