Guard Kayla McBride is also playing exceptionally well, with 16.5 points per game and a 48.6% 3-point shooting accuracy.
The Lynx excels in ball movement, leading the league with 24.4 assists per game and top 3-point shooting.
Defensively, they rank first in defensive rating (92.9%) and steals per game (9.9), making them a formidable opponent. The Mercury will need to shoot effectively to break through Minnesota’s defense.
Mercury-Lynx Best Bet
This upcoming matchup promises to be exciting as the WNBA season progresses towards summer.
This home game presents an excellent opportunity for the Lynx to send a strong message to the Mercury and assert their dominance.
With an impressive 8-1 record in home games, Minnesota will be a tough challenge for Phoenix, especially considering Mercury’s struggles on the road.
I have the Lynx winning this in a close one, I’d take the 5.5 points and the Mercury in this one.
