Lynx Hot Steak
The Lynx currently holds a 13-3 record. The Lynx are the number one seed in the Western Conference and the third overall seed in the league. They are led by a talented roster that includes MVP candidate Napheesa Collier (currently +1100 to win the award, second shortest odds), Kayla McBride, and Courtney Williams.
Collier leads the team in points averaging 20.9 points per game (fourth highest in the league) and rebounds with 10.3 per game (third in the league). McBride is averaging 16.1 points per game and Williams leads the team in assists with 5.5 per game (seventh highest in the league).

The Minnesota Lynx (@minnesotalynx ) were able to capture their 6th consecutive victory last night, beating the Phoenix Mercury, 73-60 to improve to 13-3. NaPheesa Collier (@PHEEsespieces ) was amazing for the Lynx scoring 23 PTS with 14 REB on 9/16 FG shooting and 2/2, 3 PT… pic.twitter.com/chAmEKltJ5

Championship Preview
The Lynx are +5.5 underdogs in this game, and we think this spread is a bit too large. The Lynx have won six straight games, and all three of the Liberty’s three straight wins have been against weaker competition.
We like the Lynx to put up a solid fight against the Liberty, and although we don’t know if they will complete the upset, the 5.5 point spread feels like a lot of points.
- The last time these teams played the Lynx won the game 84-67. The Lynx were +6.5 point underdogs and the total went under the line of 167.5.
Our Lynx vs Liberty prediction is that this game will be a preview of the WNBA Finals. Our WNBA picks disagree slightly with the current WNBA championship odds. Right now the Aces are the favorites to win the WNBA championship at +135 even though they are the fifth overall seed in the league.
The next three shortest odds to win it all are the Liberty +200, Connecticut Sun +750, and Lynx +800. The Lynx are currently up four games on the Aces in their conference and we could see them continuing their amazing play throughout the playoffs and representing the Western Conference in the Finals. The Liberty are favorites to represent the Eastern Conference in the Finals.
