Minnesota @ Phoenix picks

Minnesota opened as -4.5 favorites, but reports that Defensive Player of the Year Napheesa Collier might miss tonight’s clash have moved the number to -3.5, and we’ll attack that number. The Lynx starters boast the league's second-best +/- (+8.1), which spikes to a league-leading +7.2 in the 2H. Phoenix may allow the fewest points per night (74), but against four of the bottom five offenses. Phoenix will provide a stiff test for a while, but the Lynx's depth and experience should allow for a comfortable victory.
