Lynx vs. Aces Preview
This will be the third meeting between the Minnesota Lynx and the Las Vegas Aces, and there's little reason to believe that this matchup will look any different from the first two. The Lynx have rolled the Aces, winning by margins of 31 and 14 in the first two meetings.
This afternoon, we are getting a sizable road discount on the Lynx. They closed as -13 and -9.5 point favorites, and now we get them as just two-possession favorites.
The Lynx are just the better team in every area. They are incredibly stout on the defensive end of the floor, ranking first in effective field goal percentage allowed and assist-to-turnover ratio.
Minnesota has already shown it can make life hard for the Aces on that end of the court, but the biggest separation is on the other end of the floor. The Lynx lead the league in effective field goal percentage, while the Aces are middle of the pack defensively.
Lynx vs. Aces Prediction
The market for this matchup is interesting to watch, as I believe we are getting the best of the number with the Lynx here. They opened as six-point favorites, but have since been bet down.
Home court cannot be worth five points, as the Lynx have proven they can get the job done on the road as well. Buy the Lynx here and take them to win this by multiple possessions.
Best Bet: Lynx -4.5
