If you assumed the heavily favored Minnesota Lynx would just tread water until Napheesa Collier’s return, think again – and they’ll look to continue their hot start tonight against the Chicago Sky.
Minnesota has jumped out to a 5-2 record as a reminder of its playoff pedigree, and my Lynx vs Sky predictions signal another steady outing from veteran Courtney Williams to propel the visitors’ offense.

Lynx vs Sky prediction
Lynx vs Sky best bet: Courtney Williams Over 15.5 points (-112)
The Minnesota Lynx can’t reach the same heights without Napheesa Collier, but they’ve uncovered a winning formula of veterans next to rookie sensation Olivia Miles.
That starts with Courtney Williams, who scored a season-high 25 points against the Atlanta Dream in midweek and will get to her trademark jump shots here against a depleted Chicago Sky perimeter defense. I’d confidently buy up to 17.5 on this line.
The Sky have allowed two of their last three opponents to shoot at least 50% from the field, and Gabriela Jaquez’s knee injury is just the latest blow, forcing more changes in the hosts' defensive scheme.
COVERS INTEL: Courtney Williams has gone past this O/U number in four of her last five contests, including Saturday’s visit to Chicago, and she’s nailed her 3-pointers at a 50% clip in that span.
Lynx vs Sky same-game parlay
It’s a veteran showdown in this SGP, with Williams going past this point's O/U mark in both meetings with the Sky this year and Skylar Diggins emerging as a key scorer for a banged-up Chicago squad.
Coming off 23 points in 36 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Toronto Tempo, Diggins is in a great spot here, and it would be no surprise to see another stat line with 15+ field goal attempts.
I’m taking the Lynx moneyline too, with the visitors a perfect 3-0 on the road this year. Meanwhile, the Sky are still looking for their first home victory, and they’ve dropped three games in a row, all by a margin of 7+ points.
