Minnesota Lynx vs. Seattle Storm Prediction
I’m on the Storm and the points. Seattle’s been great as a home dog as of late and the Lynx just can’t cover a point spread right now if their lives depended on it. Minnesota is the far better team but I look for Seattle to keep it close here so give me the Storm and the points.
