Sun at Lynx tips and predictions

forecast

Lynx 75, Sun 73

Money line

The Lynx (-190) will cost you almost twice your potential return, and that's just a little too much risk for nowhere near enough reward.

The road team has done well in recent seasons of this series, and the Sun (+155) certainly won't be fazed by another trip to the Twin Cities. Connecticut proved it could win there in Game 1, and it also won in the Twin Cities on May 23.

This will be a very, very close, decisive Game 5.

HAPPEN.

Against the spread

The SUN +4.5 (-110) is worth a look in this final game in a very entertaining series.

The Lynx -4.5 (-110) are just 2-3 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. While the last three games of this series were decided by 7 points or more, we will see a much closer battle in Game 5 like we saw in the regular season.
