Lynx vs. Mercury Preview
Action PRO projects Lynx forward Nia Coffey for 5.23 rebounds in their matchup against the Mercury, giving us a nice 20.1% edge against the market when compared to her current prop line of over/under 3.5, which is good enough to mark the over with an A+ grade in our system.
Lynx vs. Mercury Prediction
Coffey has only played one game so far this season after joining Minnesota in April, finishing with three rebounds in her Lynx debut against the Dream. However, all signs point toward a bigger role and stronger production moving forward as she continues settling into the team's rotation.
The veteran forward arrived in Minnesota after spending the previous four seasons with Atlanta, where she appeared in all 44 games last season and helped the Dream reach the 2025 WNBA Playoffs. Coffey's best performance of the year came in an 18-point, 11-rebound double-double against Connecticut, which showcases the rebounding upside she can bring when given extended minutes.
Rebounding has also been a consistent part of her profile dating back to college, where she finished her Northwestern career as the program's all-time leader in rebounds.
Best Bet: Nia Coffey Over 3.5 Rebounds (-130, bet365)
