Minnesota Lynx will kick off their season with a matchup against Seattle Storm, who are the 8-point favorites. The Storm enters this season with big expectations, thanks to the new-look starting five, which is one of the best in the league. Players like Nneka, Ezi, and Loyd would easily get into any WNBA side. Jordan Horston is also a versatile young wing who can play solid defense, although she needs offensive consistency. The Lynx, on the other hand, are a pretty underrated basketball team. They can be pretty deep when they have a solid bench and boast one of the best players in the league in Napheesa Collier. She has been a constant problem for the Storm whenever they played. It's looking no different this year. Their bench also has enough experience to contribute well off the bat. This depth should be able to keep this matchup close.

Our Minnesota Lynx vs Seattle Storm Prediction

Squad depth could be a problem for the Storm this season. The Lynx could take advantage of this to deploy their solid bench later in the game and maybe even take the lead at some point. However, the advantage goes to the highly talented starting five of the Storm. Both teams play at a fast pace and will likely be effective on the offensive side of the court.
