Sun vs. Lynx
Betting Pick & Prediction
The Lynx are currently undefeated and are playing a Sun team that's lost their first two games at home.
Alanna Smith is back at it this season as the perfect stretch five for the Lynx. She's hit seven 3s in two games, but most notably, she's taken seven in each game — and that's with limited minutes in one of those two games.
She now draws a favorable matchup, with Tina Charles being very much an under-the-basket, old-school center who will struggle to get out and contest.
I'm risking 0.7 units to win 0.81 units on this play, but I'll also be playing the escalator here.
Alanna Smith 3+ 3-pointers made is +375 (0.2 units) and Alanna Smith 4+ 3-pointers made is +1000 (0.1 units).
Pick: Alanna Smith Over 1.5 3-Pointers (+115)
