-The Liberty’s recent form and recent play performance

-A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for today’s game between the Lynx and Liberty.

How Do the Lynx Bounce Back?

The big question for the Lynx is how do they bounce back from the last game. The Lynx for three quarters looked like they were going to take a 2-1 series lead, until the 4th quarter happened, and that led to the struggles. In the third quarter the Liberty were outscored 26-19 and in the 4th quarter they were outscored 19-15. Naphessa Collier had a strong game, putting 22 points, nine rebounds, and two assists. Alanna Smith suffered an injury in the last game, but she has made it clear she plans to play in this game. Without her, the Lynx are going to really struggle, and they are going to need her to have a big game. The Lynx also need to not go away from their offense in the 4th quarter. 

Liberty Have All the Momentum

The Liberty suddenly have the momentum heading into this game, and now they are only one win away from their first WNBA title. The Liberty scored 80 points, and they ended up winning by three points. Sabrina Ionescu hit a game winning three pointer, and they hope that was a dagger in the Lynx hearts. Breanna Stewart had a huge game, putting up 30 points, 11 rebounds, and one assist. There were four different players that put up at least 13 points. At the end of the first quarter, the Liberty were down by 10 points, and they are going to need the defense to be better early. 

New York Liberty vs Minnesota Lynx Prediction

The way the game ended in the last game was less than ideal for the Lynx, but they are going to find success here. The Lynx’s offense is going out to a fast start again, but this time they aren’t going to take their foot off the gas. The Lynx are going to have no issue running up the score, and they are going to end up cruising to the victory here. Back the Lynx to come out on top. You aren’t going to need the points. Back the Lynx.
