Prediction: Connecticut Sun VS Minnesota Lynx 2025-05-23

The Minnesota Lynx, the hottest team in the WNBA, are looking to keep their winning streak alive against the struggling Connecticut Sun. But let's be real, a 16.5-point spread is just ridiculous. I mean, come on, the Sun may not be the best team, but they're not completely hopeless either.

Napheesa Collier is on fire, averaging 28.3 points per game, and I expect her to keep it up. In fact, I'm predicting she'll score at least 25 points in this game. But even with Collier's dominance, I think the Sun will be able to keep it somewhat close.

My best bet for this game is the Sun to cover the spread. I know, I know, it's not the most exciting pick, but hear me out. The Sun have some talented players, including rookie guard Saniya Rivers, who made a solid debut with 11 points in 25 minutes off the bench. And let's not forget, the Lynx's coach Cheryl Reeve is still figuring out her team's rotations, which could lead to some inconsistencies.

As for the total, I'm taking the Over. With Collier's scoring prowess and the Sun's potential to put up some points, I think we'll see a high-scoring game. The Over/Under is set at 155.5 or 156.0, depending on the book, and I think we'll see both teams combine for at least 160 points.

So, there you have it. My picks for the game:

Connecticut Sun to cover the spread (+16.5)
Over 155.5/156.0 points
* Napheesa Collier to score at least 25 points

Don't @ me.
