New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx Prediction
I’m leaning towards the over here. I know the stereotype for playoff basketball is defense and game one is usually thought of as a feeling out kind of game. However, these are two teams that can flat out score and I think that we see a bit of a track meet to start the season. Give me the over in this one.
