- The Lynx held off the Fire in a close matchup, defeating them by a score of 85-81.
- Las Vegas won a pair of matchups against the Mystics this week, improving to 24-11.
- These two teams last faced off back on August 8, in a clash that the Lynx won 98-87.
The Lynx and Aces get set to clash once again in the battle for the top-overall spot in the WNBA standings. Las Vegas is an underdog at home after losing their last matchup to the Lynx a week ago.
Lynx Seek to Keep on Winning
The Lynx remain atop the WNBA standings, holding down the spot as the current favorite to win it all. They are 7-1 since Napheesa Collier returned from injury, showing off just how stacked their roster is. Led by coach-of-the-year frontrunner Cheryl Reeve, Minnesota is going to be an extremely difficult team to oust in a playoff series. They’ll be aiming to keep their winning ways going against the Aces in Las Vegas.
Aces Looking for a Revenge Win
Las Vegas slipped into 3rd-place in the WNBA standings this week, allowing the Valkyries to squeeze past them. They bounced back with a pair of high-scoring wins against Washington, but remain facing an uphill battle if they wish to repeat as champions. The biggest obstacle facing the Aces is the Lynx, who got the better of them last week and come to town once again on Saturday. They’ll be aiming for revenge in this one.
Lynx vs Aces WNBA Pick
It’s nearly impossible to bet against Minnesota based on how they have played all season long, especially with Collier back in the mix. That is reflected in the odds, which favor the Lynx despite them heading on the road to face the defending champions. Expect this game to be very close and not too high-scoring, with the stacked Lynx pulling away late to earn another key victory over Las Vegas.
