Chicago @ Minnesota picks

The Lynx have not released an injury report as of nearly noon CT, not shocking on the second day of a back-to-back. But Alanna Smith suffered a knee injury on a flagrant foul Saturday night, costing her the remainder of the game. She returned to Minnesota's bench but never neared action. If she is sidelined, Napheesa Collier will need to do a bit more of everything against the Sky, points becoming one of her lesser concerns. She has cleared this prop just once in the last six games, but the plus-money possibility combined with Smith's uncertain status creates value.

Alanna Smith is averaging three assists per game this season, often filling a similar playmaking role at the elbow as Napheesa Collier does, much of how the best player in the WNBA is averaging 3.5 assists per game. But a worrying knee injury cost Smith much of Saturday's win against the Valkyries, and her status tonight remains uncertain. If she is indeed sidelined, then more of those high-pivot passes should come from Collier, who has already cleared this prop in eight of her last 11 games.
