Chicago vs. Minnesota – WNBA Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Spread: Minnesota -14.0 | Total: 161.0
Minnesota Lynx Outlook
The Lynx are riding high with a dominant 16-2 record, showing no signs of slowing down. With MVP-level production from Napheesa Collier and veteran leadership from Kayla McBride, Minnesota is steamrolling opponents while having fun doing it, even playfully competing over who shoots technical free throws.
Fresh off an 82-71 win over Golden State, the Lynx are facing quick turnaround fatigue but remain lethal. Collier was clinical in that victory, scoring 22 points on 8-of-11 shooting, and Jessica Shepard gave the team a spark off the bench with 10 boards and high-effort hustle.
Player Prop (Lynx)
Napheesa Collier Over 21.5 Points – She’s locked in, scoring efficiently and getting to the line. Against a struggling Sky defense, expect her to lead the charge.
Chicago Sky Outlook
The Sky, sitting at 5-11, are looking to reset after a full week of rest. Ariel Atkins has taken the scoring reins lately, averaging 20+ over her last four games, while rookie Angel Reese continues to crash the glass with force, averaging a double-double.
Kamilla Cardoso and Reese give Chicago some size and interior presence, but the Sky have struggled to defend elite wings like Collier. If Atkins doesn’t stay hot, it could be another long night.
Player Prop (Sky)
Ariel Atkins Over 13.5 Points – She’s been the offensive engine lately and should stay aggressive, even in a tough matchup. Volume alone gives her a solid shot at hitting this mark.
Final Score Prediction:
Minnesota’s chemistry, depth, and defensive edge make them the superior squad by a mile. Chicago’s interior could slow things briefly, but the Lynx have too much firepower.
Best Bet: Minnesota -14.0
Toral: Under 161.0
Final Score Prediction: Minnesota 85, Chicago 66
Bet the Lynx to cover and lean under if fatigue sets in late.
