My Prediction
Minnesota Lynx by 12
Okay, listeners, this is going to be an interesting one. Let's talk about the Phoenix Mercury heading to Minnesota Lynx territory for tonight's big showdown.
For the Mercury, we've got Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas, pulling in impressive season stats of 21.3 points per game, 8.1 rebounds and 15.2 points per game, 7.6 rebounds respectively. I mean, don't even get me started on Monique Akoa-Makani with her 9.7 points a game. These ladies are bringing some serious heat to the match.
But the Lynx? They've got their own squad of stellar players like Napheesa Collier, raking in a whopping 26.3 points per game, and Courtney Williams right on her tail with 15 - not to mention Kayla McBride's 17 per game. That's some serious competition right there.
If we take a journey down memory lane, the Lynx have historically trounced Mercury in past matchups – remember the 102-95 face-off or Minnesota's convincing victory at 73-60 back in June 2024? Yep, I thought so.
Let's face it; the regular season records aren't doing Mercury any favors either. The Mercury stand at a respectable, but not impressive, 5-2. The Lynx, on the other hand, are a force to be reckoned with, maintaining an undefeatable 7-0 record.
Typically, I would say the position in the standings could be a game-changer, but this scenario is still heavily tilted in Lynx's favor being the #1 WNBA team against Mercury at #4.
So let's cut the suspense, shall we? Considering all these factors:
