On Wednesday, the New York Liberty (32-8, 16-4 away) moved within one win of the first WNBA Championship in the team’s 28-year history.

Liberty vs Lynx Game 4 Predictions

• Lynx first-half moneyline (+120) at BetMGM
• Collier under 9.5 rebounds (-140)  Odds as of Oct. 18. Check out SBD’s BetMGM review.  

The Lynx let a golden opportunity to take back the lead in the series slip away on Wednesday. Minnesota led by ten points after the first quarter and still had an eight-point edge at halftime. But a monstrous night from two-time MVP Breanna Stewart (30 points, 11 rebounds) plus a game-winner at the buzzer from Sabrina Ionescu ultimately proved the difference in Wednesday’s 80-77 New York victory.

While Minnesota will be bitterly disappointed by the Game 3 setback, the first 120 minutes of this series have proved beyond any shadow of a doubt – if the entire regular season hadn’t already done so – that Minnesota is just about on par with New York.

The Lynx don’t have the same name-brand stars, and their leap into the top tier wasn’t predicted by many, but they haven’t lost back-to-back home games all year, and I expect another strong start at the Target Center.

Stewart, who went off for 30 points in Wednesday’s win, is once again listed with the highest point total on the board at 21.5. She was held to 18 and 21 in Games 1 and 2, respectively.

Lynx leading scorer Napheesa Collier is just behind her at 20.5. Collier led Minnesota with 22 in a losing effort in Game 3 and is now averaging 19.7 PPG in her three playoff games against the Liberty.

For the second straight game, the trio of Stewart, Collier, and Jonquel Jones all have a rebound total of 9.5. Only Stewart hit the over in Game 3. Collier finished with nine and Jones with just five. Indeed, Collier hasn’t gone over 9.5 in any game of the series, finishing with eight in Game 1 and seven in Game 2.
