Minnesota Lynx (10-3) and Portland Fire (7-8) will meet in the Western Conference on Monday night at Target Center. The Lynx will be looking to immediately bounce back from their painful 100-97 defeat on the road to the Aces on Saturday night. Despite the defeat, Olivia Miles continued to impress, scoring 12 fourth-quarter points to finish the game with 29 points and four rebounds. Bookies are backing them to bounce back tonight at -2000 odds.
Portland Fire, on the other hand, ended their four-game losing streak with a hard-fought 84-83 win over Dallas Wings on Saturday night. The Fire survived a late scare from the visitors, who rallied late to take the third and fourth quarters. Bridget Carleton had a great night for Portland after scoring 20 points, whereas Megan Gustafson contributed 16 points. A win against the in-form Lynx could mark a significant turnaround for their campaign.

Our Minnesota Lynx vs Portland Fire Prediction
The Lynx will be eager to win and reclaim their top spot in the West. They’ve already gone 5-2 at home this season while winning six of their last seven matches in the conference. Their offense, which is led by Olivia Miles, has been red-hot this year, scoring an average of 91.5 PPG, which is second this term. They can mix their efficient attack with solid defensive play to completely cancel out weaker opponents like Portland. The Lynx boast the joint-best defensive record this year, averaging 79.8 opponent points per game. This should give them an upper hand against Portland Fire, who have scored an average of 82 PPG. That’s 13th in the WNBA. Overall, Minnesota should get a comfortable win tonight.
Our prediction for Minnesota Lynx vs Minnesota Lynx: Minnesota Lynx to cover the -12.5 spread.
