Lynx Seeking Revenge Win

After losing two games in a row, the dominant Lynx are now stuck in a tie for 1st-place in the WNBA standings with the Aces. Their most recent loss was a stunning defeat to the 5-16 Sun, who they lost to by one point at home. They head on the road for a rematch with the Sun, hoping to get back on track with a victory. Minnesota's struggles lately seem like little issue with Napheesa Collier soon to make her return to the court.

Sun Looking to Build Momentum

The Sun pulled off a stunning upset in Minnesota on the heels on a 29-point double-double by Britney Griner. Connecticut remains at the bottom of the WNBA standings, but has been considerably more competitive over the last few weeks. They remain unlikely to make the postseason, but Sun fans now have something to root for in the team's least season before moving to Houston.

Lynx vs Sun WNBA Pick

As much as I'd like to project another Sun victory in this game after pulling off a huge upset on Monday, it's unlikely to happen twice. The Lynx may have underestimated Connecticut in the last matchup, but they will surely be ready this time. Expect a revenge game for Minnesota as they jump ahead early and win this one by double digits on the road.
