📝 Lynx vs. Sun preview & best bet
🐺 Lynx -13 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Lynx destroyed the Sun in their last meeting with a 102-63 blowout. Minnesota has the league’s best net rating at +12.1, while Connecticut owns the second-worst rating at -11.1. This game pits the league’s best offensive team against one of the worst defensive squads.
The Sun provide little resistance to opponents getting to the basket and free-throw line, which could lead to a dominant inside showing from Minnesota’s balanced offensive attack.
I like the Lynx to get back on track in a big way, and I’m very comfortable backing them as 13-point favorites with a $10 bet to net a profit of $9.09. The -110 odds at Caesars have an implied probability of 52.38%.

💰 Best Lynx vs. SunLynx vs. Sun player prop bet
🔥Napheesa Collier Over 34.5 points, rebounds, and assists (-112) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Collier has dominated the Sun in two meetings this season, averaging 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game on 57% shooting from the field, 50% from three-point range, and 85.7% from the free-throw line.
Collier struggled with her shot in Minnesota’s last game, but still finished with 18 points, nine rebounds, and two assists in an off night. The Sun simply don’t have any defenders that can handle Collier’s versatile offensive game.
I like Collier to stuff the stat sheet in an advantageous matchup. A $10 wager nets out a profit of $8.93.

How do WNBA odds work?
When betting on the WNBA, the point spread shows how many points the favorite needs to win by in order to cash the bet. For example, a favorite of -5.5 must win by 6 or more points to cover the spread, while an underdog at +5.5 must win outright or lose by 5 or fewer points to cover the spread.
Moneyline odds represent the payout for picking the outright winner (+200 means a $100 bet wins $200, while -200 means a $200 bet wins $100). Over/Unders let you wager on whether the combined total will be higher or lower than the set number.
