The 2025 WNBA season is underway with some great matchups taking place. In our Lynx vs Mercury WNBA pick, Minnesota will put their undefeated record to the test as they head to Phoenix on Friday.

Lynx Start Season out at 5-0

Minnesota sits atop the WNBA at 5-0, looking well on track to return to the finals. They have dominated most teams, thanks in no small part to Napheesa Collier. Averaging 27 ppg, 8 rpg, 3 apg, 2.5 spg, and 1.5 bpg, Collier has been phenomenal in every aspect of her game. She is the early frontrunner for MVP, but also benefits from many stars around her, such as Alanna Smith and Kayla McBride, who recently returned.

Mercury off to a Strong Start

Phoenix is 4-1 to start the year, which puts them in an excellent position. Interestingly, this game against Minnesota will be the 5th home game for the Mercury in their first 6 games. Things will certainly get much tougher once they head back on the road, so taking advantage of the games now is crucial. Led by Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas, the Mercury boast a 4-0 record on their home court, but are 0-1 on the road.

Minnesota Lynx vs Phoenix Mercury WNBA Pick

As dominant as Minnesota and Napheesa Collier have been, they’ve also had some closer calls recently. After winning their first two games by 14+ points, they won the last three by 6 points or fewer. The Lynx will certainly have their work cut out for them against the 4-1 Mercury on the road. Phoenix is an undefeated 4-0 at home which makes their long +210 odds a bit surprising. Take the Mercury to win here in a close one.
