Minnesota Lynx vs. Phoenix Mercury Prediction
I’m on the Lynx here. I just think this is a case of two teams headed in different directions and I’ve thought the Mercury have been underwhelming for much of the season as it is. The Lynx have been playing well out of the gate and I think the Lynx keep it rolling with a win and cover on the road here.
Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Minnesota -3.5
