Our Minnesota Lynx vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction
The win by Phoenix in Game 2 was a bit of a surprise, considering the Mercury were down by 20 at one point. With the win, the Mercury will now get the chance to take a commanding lead in the series, and they will get to play at home.
That said, Minnesota has still been the best team all season, and looks to be a good option for a bounce-back win. The Lynx have been the best offense in the playoffs, averaging 85.3 points per game. Given the importance of this game, our Phoenix Mercury vs Minnesota Lynx prediction is: Minnesota Lynx ML.Jackpot Pools
