Collier's Return Boosts Top-Ranked Lynx
23 Jul
Summary
- Lynx are on a six-game winning streak.
- Napheesa Collier is probable for Wednesday's game.
- Storm are strong at home against the spread.
The Minnesota Lynx have achieved remarkable success in the first half of the season, securing six consecutive victories and leading the WNBA standings. Their dominance is even more notable as it has been accomplished without key player Napheesa Collier.
Collier, who has been out with an ankle injury, is now probable for Wednesday's game against the Seattle Storm. Her potential return is expected to enhance the Lynx's performance on both offense and defense.
In their previous matchup on Monday, the Lynx edged out the Storm 105-102, a game where Seattle showed resilience. Oddsmakers have adjusted their expectations with Collier's probable return, making the Lynx 10.5-point favorites.
The Seattle Storm, despite their 6-22 record, have proven to be a strong contender against the spread at home, boasting a 9-4 ATS record at Climate Pledge Arena. Rookie Flau'jae Johnson has been a standout for the Storm, contributing significantly.
Betting trends indicate caution for those backing the Lynx, as they have not won by 10 or more points since June 17 and have failed to cover the spread in their last 12 games. The Storm, conversely, have consistently covered the spread at home and have kept recent games close, either winning or losing by single digits.
