Liberty vs Lynx Predictions for Game 3
Minnesota is 4-2 against New York this season, which accounts for 44.4% of the Liberty’s nine total losses (including postseason). Only one of those games came in Minnesota, which resulted in a resounding 84-67 Lynx victory.
While Minnesota certainly exceeded expectations a year after finishing 19-21, it’s time to accept that the Lynx are as good as any team in the league on their home court this season. Minnesota is being undervalued. Their odds are as long as +152 at Caesars Sportsbook, which amounts to just a 39.68% implied win probability.
