Sun at Lynx picks and predictions
Prediction
Lynx 87, Sun 80
Moneyline
PASS.
There is minimal value on the Lynx (-210) to win Tuesday.
Against the spread
BET LYNX -5.5 (-110).
While the Lynx fell Sunday as home favorites, expect them to bounce back Tuesday. They are 8-2 straight up (SU) in their last 10 games and 6-4 ATS in that span. Their offense, which has scored 101 or more points in 2 of their last 3 games, will be the deciding factor in Game 2 against a team that has scored more than 90 points just 1 time in its last 10 games.

The Sun have scored 87 or more points in 3 of their last 4 games while the Lynx have scored 101 or more in 2 of their last 3. While both teams play strong defense, as demonstrated by Game 1, they both have an array of scorers who will look to create opportunities in a critical Game 2. Expect a fast pace Tuesday leading to the Over hitting.
