Will the Lynx Have Naphessa Collier?

The big question for the Lynx heading into this game is will they have the services of Naphessa Collier. She is dealing with a foot injury and is questionable heading into this game. The Lynx didn’t have her for the last game and they were still able to beat the Los Angeles Sparks 82-67. Bridget Carleton had a strong game putting up 16 points, four rebounds, and three assists. There were four different players that put up at least 11 points. The Lynx are averaging 82.1 points while their defense is giving up 73.9 points per game. The offense is ranked 5th in the league while the defense is ranked 2nd. Kayla McBride is averaging 15.5 points while shooting 44.3 percent from the field. 

Storm Fell Short in Last Game

The Storm come into this game with a 14-8 record overall but they were beaten in the last game. The Storm put up 79 points but the defense is giving up 84 points per game. Jewell Loyd put up 28 points, three rebounds, and three assists. The Storm is averaging 83.9 points while their defense is giving up 78.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 3rd in the league while the defense is ranked 4th. They do play the second fastest pace of the game, and they are going to need to the offense to have a strong game here. 

Minnesota Lynx vs Seattle Storm Prediction

Even if Collier can’t go for the Lynx, they are going to find success here. The Lynx are giving up only 73.9 points per game and their defense is going to really step up in a big way here. The Storm’s defense is giving up 78.4 points per game and they are going to really struggle to defend here. The Lynx are going to run up the score, and they are going to cruise here. Back the Lynx against the spread here.
