Lynx vs. Storm Prediction: WNBA Picks for Monday, July 20
My Lynx vs. Storm prediction suggests taking the Over before tipoff at 10 p.m. ET on Monday at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on the USA Network.
Minnesota, which remains the WNBA championship odds favorite, is laying -9.5. But the Lynx's recent form suggests this game could be more competitive than expected.

🏆 Who will win Lynx vs. Storm?
I predict the Lynx to win by eight points in Seattle on Monday. Even an eight-point victory might be giving Minnesota too much credit, given the form this team has been in since June 21. The Lynx have failed to cover the spread in seven straight contests, ranking sixth in net rating at +2.2 over that span. During that same stretch, Seattle's net rating is -1.1.
Score prediction: Lynx 93, Storm 85
💰 Lynx vs. Storm prediction & best bet
Over 173.5 (-110)
The Lynx have been a much different team of late. They rank second in the league in defensive rating this season, but that mark drops to seventh over the past month. The Over has come through in each of the last seven Lynx contests and eight of their last 10.
In my opinion, that's a sign that this Minnesota team needs a break more than most after its hot start to the season. But it also suggests value in fading their overall metrics since they've been much worse in recent weeks.
I like the Over at 174.5 or better, but act fact since the market is starting to push this total.
🔥 Best Lynx vs. Storm player prop bet
Olivia Miles Over 17.5 points (-115)
Rookie guard Olivia Miles continues to lead the way as the offensive engine for the Lynx. Since June 1, she's taken her game to another level as a scorer. She's scored at least 18 points in 12 of her last 16 contests, averaging 20.9 points per game.
The Storm have struggled to defense lead guards this season. They rank eighth in defending pick-and-roll ball-handlers, per Props Madness, which is how Miles earns 46% of her production. They've given up huge performances to Sonia Citron and Carla Leite within the past two weeks.
With this prop trading as high as 18.5 in the market, I'll grab FanDuel's bargain before it's too late.
🚀 Lynx vs. Storm same-game parlay
A parlay of my three Lynx vs. Storm predictions has +408 odds at FanDuel. For this parlay to come through, Seattle will have to score enough to stay within single digits. But there is a path to this parlay cashing, given the recent form of the Lynx and their lead guard. It's worth a sprinkle at these odds, especially before the total climbs too high.
