Minnesota Lynx vs. New York Liberty Prediction

I’m backing the Lynx in this one. The Liberty just don’t look like a team that can get over the hump against the Lynx and the Lynx look like a team that’s held a grudge from losing the finals to the Liberty last season. My concern for Minnesota was that when Napheesa Collier went down, that this team wouldn’t be able to carry that success over. Instead, the Lynx have taken the next woman up mentality, and I think they keep it rolling here with a win and cover on the road but I’ll take the free bucket to be safe.
