Lynx vs Sun Prediction: Can the Lynx avoid another loss?

Lynx vs Sun Prediction: The Connecticut Sun will start as favorites to win their upcoming game against the Minnesota Lynx as per the latest predictions.

It is expected to be another tough game for the Minnesota Lynx when they host the Connecticut Sun for the next WNBA fixture tonight. With the playoff chances already looking low, the Lynx needs a comprehensive effort to avoid another defeat. They got a crushing loss against the Mystics in the last game.

Kayla McBride and Aerial Powers were the only two players who managed to score in double digits. Minnesota needs to have a better 3-pointer success rate that looked very ordinary at 20.0%. A complete team effort will be required to give a tough fight to the Sun tonight.

The Connecticut Sun will look to strengthen its position in the points table by dominating the Lynx at the Target Center Arena. The Sun is looking strong as the #3 seed in the tournament. They are coming off a thumping win against the Liberty in the last matchup. It was a fantastic performance from Brionna Jones who scored 21 points with 8 rebounds. Alyssa Thomas also looked in great touch and gave a valuable contribution of 18 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists. The Sun would want to move one step closer to the playoffs with a win tonight.
