The Minnesota Lynx saw their eight-game winning streak snapped in a high-scoring classic at Las Vegas on Saturday night. The Portland Fire should provide Minnesota a delightful bounceback chance.
My Fire vs. Lynx predictions and these WNBA picks fully expect Minnesota to run through the Fire on Monday, June 15.
Fire vs Lynx prediction
Fire vs Lynx best bet: Olivia Miles Over 17.5 points (-140)
Olivia Miles is no ordinary rookie. The Minnesota Lynx point guard is already much more than a facilitator, too. She started the season with that emphasis, averaging 5.9 assists through her first eight games along with 15.4 points.
But Miles has shifted, dishing out 5.8 assists per game in her last five games while averaging 23.8 points. Miles began the season taking 11.3 shots per game; that has jumped to 13.8 in her last five games.
Miles is not a pass-first PG. She has become a do-everything PG only 13 games into her career.
COVERS INTEL: The Portland Fire’s defensive rating ranks No. 13 in the WNBA across the season and is even worse of late: In June, Portland ranks No. 15 (last) at 116.0 points per 100 possessions, 9.1 points worse than it was in May.
Fire vs Lynx same-game parlay
Perhaps we, as a basketball-loving universe, should have expected the Lynx to have a quality defense. It is Minnesota’s brand, after all. But the Lynx having the No. 2 offensive rating in the WNBA has been a relative surprise. And since Miles has shifted her focus from facilitating to doing everything, that offensive rating has risen to No. 1 in June, 11.3 points per 100 possessions better than it was in May.
Naturally, the Lynx have gone 4-1 against the spread in June while cashing four out of five Overs.
