The Minnesota Lynx (5-0) visit the Phoenix Mercury (4-1) on May 30, Friday, at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.
It's a battle of heavyweights between the undefeated Lynx and the resurgent Mercury squad. These are two different teams in terms of their specialties.
The Lynx are ranked second in the league in offensive rating (112.3) but only seventh in defensive rating (100.9). Meanwhile, the Mercury are only eighth in offensive rating (101.1) but are second in defensive rating (93.8).
Napheesa Collier is leading the charge for the Lynx with her 26.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.4 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game. If she keeps this up, she's surely on track for an MVP award. Courtney Williams and Alanna Smith are the other double-digit scorers for the Lynx.
Meanwhile, Mercury star Satou Sabally is also putting up an all-around stat line of 19.8 points, 7.4 boards, 2.2 assists, and 1.6 steals. Alyssa Thomas is also contributing 15.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 8.0 assists.
Mercury players Natasha Mack and Kahleah Cooper will miss the game versus the Lynx. Collier is also listed day-to-day for the Lynx, but is expected to play.

Our Phoenix Mercury vs Minnesota Lynx Prediction
The Lynx are on the verge of winning their sixth straight game, but it will be a challenging game against the Mercury. Satou Sabally and Alyssa Thomas have been excellent for the new-look Mercury, and they've only lost one game so far.
Still, this is Napheesa Collier that we're talking about. Look for the MVP candidate to put up his usual dynamic numbers against the Mercury. Our prediction for the Phoenix Mercury vs Minnesota Lynx match is: Lynx (-3.5) cover the spread.
