Minnesota Lynx vs New York Liberty Prediction & Picks (Breanna Stewart Key Factor): Smart Betting Angles

At Target Center, the Minnesota Lynx are facing the New York Liberty, and both teams have shown solid form lately. The Lynx have won 6 out of their last 10 games, but they've only won 2 of their last 6. Meanwhile, the Liberty have also won 6 of their last 10, with 4 wins in their last 6 games. With both teams scoring well, but the Lynx's recent performance being a bit shaky, we might not see a high-scoring game. Our numbers suggest a combined total of about 165.5 points, which is quite a bit lower than the line set for this matchup. A major risk here is that both teams can score, so if they find their rhythm, things could change quickly. Still, with the Lynx's recent struggles and tough competition faced by the Liberty, betting on under 173 points looks promising. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it.

Breanna Stewart Under 24.5 Points and Assists (-110)

Breanna Stewart is a star player, but we're looking at her to score under 24.5 points and assists against the Minnesota Lynx.

This means they will likely keep the pressure on Stewart, making it harder for her to rack up those numbers.

Courtney Williams Under 16.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)

Courtney Williams has been a solid player, but the matchup against the Minnesota Lynx could be tricky for her. The Lynx have won 7 of their last 10 games and are scoring an impressive 91.3 points per game. This high-scoring environment could mean less focus on individual stats like points and rebounds for Williams, especially with the Lynx's strong defense. While she's had some good games lately, the competition's tough and the clubs she's faced have a mixed record. With this in mind, betting on her to score under 16.5 points and rebounds feels like a smart choice. The chance of her hitting that mark is pretty close, but the Lynx's recent form could make it a challenge for her. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.10 if it lands.

Jonquel Jones Under 24.5 Points and Rebounds (-110)

Jonquel Jones has been a big part of the New York Liberty's success, but she might struggle in this game. The Minnesota Lynx have been strong lately, winning 6 of their last 10 games and scoring an impressive 91 points a game in their last few outings. This means they can put pressure on the Liberty, making it harder for Jones to rack up points and rebounds. While the numbers suggest a good chance for Jones to go under 24.5 combined points and rebounds, there's a real risk here. The Lynx defense could really challenge her, especially since they have been working hard to limit their opponents' scoring. With both teams on a similar winning path lately, it might be a close one, but betting on Jones to stay below that mark feels solid.
