My Prediction
Minnesota Lynx by 4Just in case you've buried your head in the sand this season, allow me to retrieve it and point your eyes towards the upcoming match. Minnesota Lynx is cartwheeling into Phoenix Mercury's basketball court, and I hope Mercury's geared up this time.
Let's talk players. Running in the forefront for the Lynx, we’ve got Napheesa Collier. That girl has numbers taller than my overdue utility bills. Averaging a rock-solid 26.8 points per game this month – same as the entire season so far, mind you – along with 7.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists, she’s as consistent as they come. Courtney Williams and Jessica Shepard are not here to sell popcorn either. Williams, keeping the scoreboard juggling with 14.8 points per game, and Shepard scooping up rebounds like she’s at a walnut harvest.
Now, let's twirl to Phoenix's corner where Alyssa Thomas and Satou Sabally are pouring in the points. Alyssa shells out a handsome 15.2 points and an impressive 7.8 assists per game, while Satou is causing more damage with a staggering 19.8 points per game. And let us not forget, Monique Akoa-Makani graces the court with a cool 10.6 points to bring up the rear.
Now, I don't mean to stoke the fire, but the Lynx's previous encounters with the Mercury have looked less like basketball games and more like successful turkey shoots. The last five round-ups saw Minnesota stride home victoriously four times.
Bringing out the season's laundry, the Lynx stands unscathed with a 5-0 record, gleaming at the top of the WNBA's vanity lineup. Mercury, though not as ostentatious, is riding on a sturdy 4-1 record and claims the third spot in the standings.
"The sum of all stats" sounds like a terrible movie title, but it's going to carry us to the finish line. Mercury’s in for a tough game with Minnesota looking like they are attending a WNBA bosses meeting, where they supply both agenda and minutes.
