Storm vs Lynx Prediction: Seattle Storm to win
Storm vs Lynx Prediction: The Seattle Storm will start as favorites to win their upcoming game against the Minnesota Lynx as per the latest predictions.
With only a few games to go before the all-important playoffs, it is crucial for the already qualified teams not to lose their form. The Seattle Storm will aim to get back to winning ways when they host the Minnesota Lynx for the next WNBA fixture tonight. The Storm is coming off a narrow defeat to the Mystics by a margin of 3 points in the last game. They couldn’t continue the momentum after winning against the same team 2 days ago.
In the previous fixture, Breanna Stewart turned out to be the most valuable for Seattle once again as she scored 23 points with 5 rebounds. Jewell Lloyd had a decent game as well and she finished with 15 points and 4 rebounds. The Storm is expected to dominate the Lynx in today’s matchup.
The Minnesota Lynx still has faint hopes of getting qualified for the playoffs. They need to give their best against the Storm at the Climate Pledge Arena to avoid a defeat. A big positive for the Lynx is that they won their last two games. In the previous fixture, Minnesota crushed Los Angeles.
The leading scorer for the Lynx from that game was Moriah Jefferson who added 22 points to her name with 4 assists. The other key performer was Kayla McBride as she scored 15 points and 4 rebounds. The Lynx needs to win this matchup to improve their chances of securing a playoff berth.
