Lynx Defense Dominated Last Game

The Lynx in the last game faced off against the Chicago Sky and the defense was lights out giving up only 62 points and they ended up winning by eight points. The offense only scored 70 points, but the defense was so good, they were still able to pick up the victory. Kayla McBride had a strong game putting up 16 points, five rebounds, and five assists. The Lynx are averaging 83.9 points while their defense is giving up 74.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 3rd in the league while the defense is ranked 2nd. Naphessa Collier is playing like an MVP candidate right now, and she is averaging 20.9 points while grabbing 10.4 rebounds per game. 

Liberty Need This Win

These two teams just faced off a couple of games ago and the Liberty were beaten by the Lynx 94-89. They were on tired legs at that point though, and that won’t be the case here, so they are going to try and make the statement. In the last game against the Atlanta Dream, the Liberty were able to secure the 81-75 victory. Breanna Stewart had a strong game putting up 22 points, 12 rebounds, and three assists. The Liberty are averaging 87.7 points while their defense is giving up 78.2 points per game. The offense is ranked 2nd in the league while the defense is ranked 3rd.

Minnesota Lynx vs New York Liberty Prediction

The Lynx just beat the Liberty and I believe they can do it again. The Lynx are averaging 83.9 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. The defense is giving up 74.3 points and they really stepped up in the last game. The Liberty’s offense isn’t going to run up the score, and the Lynx are going to find success. The Lynx are going to get the job done. Back the Lynx against the spread here.
