Lynx at Liberty picks and predictions
Prediction
Liberty 85, Lynx 79
Moneyline
I fully look for the Liberty to exact some revenge here, but there is no way we’re risking -350 on it.
Instead, let’s go with SABRINA IONESCU OVER 2.5 THREE-POINTERS (-135). We highlighted her shooting woes in Game 1, and she still drilled three 3s.
Against the spread
These have teams faced off 5 times this year, and Minnesota covered in 4 of those. The spreads ranged from 5.5 to 7. We’re catching an extra halfer here.
So take LYNX +7.5 (-110).

Over/Under
The Over has cashed in 3 of the last 4 meetings. The Lynx are 7-3 O/U in their last 10. The Liberty are 6-4. This total has risen 2 points from Game 1, but I still think that’s well within range to cash an OVER 162.5 (-115).
