Minnesota Lynx vs. Las Vegas Aces Prediction

I’m on the Aces in this one. I get why the Lynx get the respect as the team with the best record in the league, however the home team has won both meetings this season and it’s not often you’re going to get the Aces at this kind of number in a potential playoff or even finals preview. I think the Aces defend home court here and get the win so give me Las Vegas.
