Minnesota Lynx vs. Indiana Fever Prediction

I’m looking at the Lynx here. I just like what Minnesota’s brought to the table this season and I’m hard-pressed to think that Minnesota will lose three straight even on the second half of a back-to-back. The Fever’s depth continues to get tested as now Sophie Cunningham’s out for the season and at a certain point, the losses just become too much to overcome. I’ll roll with the Lynx in this one.
