Key Stats

Minnesota Lynx Napheesa Collier

Phoenix Mercury

The Mercury will come prepared to win, prolonging the WNBA playoff series to a third game. In Game 1, the host team gave up 12 points off turnovers, finishing their turnover could save them some points. Top players Rebecca Allen and Charisma Osborne will miss the second game because of injury concerns.

Mercury will hope their top core players of Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner, and Natasha Cloud will help them to force a Game 3. Guard Natasha Cloud was clutch in Game 1, scoring 33 points, with four 3-pointers. Brittney Griner was also solid in the Center position.

Minnesota Lynx

The Minnesota Lynx is one of the WNBA teams that has performed exceptionally before the end of the regular season. Lynx are lucky that they don’t have major injuries, hindering their performance. Their talented players, Napheesa Collier, Kayla McBride, Courtney Williams, and Alanna Smith will try to end the playoff series early.

Despite their impressive win over veteran players, Lynx had 17 points off turnover, which is an area they need to fix to finish off the Mercury. Minnesota needs to rebound better and keep their scoring performance consistent to end the WNBA playoff series in Game 2. Napheesa Collier was impressive in the first game, scoring 38 points, six rebounds, and four assists.

Prediction

In Game 1, the Minnesota Lynx won 102-95 after a strong first-quarter performance. Lynx scored more than 20 points in every quarter. Mercury also performed well, despite falling short in Game 1. Phoenix Mercury scored 17 points off the turnover. The Phoenix Mercury will play a better defense in Game 2, making the game closer than Game 1.

However, Minnesota’s firepower will prove much better they can handle, making it possible to end the series in Game 2. The second-ranked team in the WNBA is likely to progress into the semifinals to other favorites for the 2024 WNBA title.

Final Pick

Phoenix Money, +9.5, -115
