WNBA Semifinals: Sun vs. Lynx Game 5 Picks & Prediction

Sun vs. Lynx Prediction
Both teams have had their moments throughout this series, which has shaped up to be a classic battle of youth versus experience. The young Lynx will look to leverage their home-court advantage. Minnesota's 16-4 mark ties the Liberty for the best home record during the regular season.
On the other side, Connecticut has been in this position before — Alyssa Thomas and company have won two straight winner-take-all matchups, both on the road. In what I expect to be a nail-biter, I’m backing the Sun to pull off the upset and advance to their third WNBA Finals in the past six seasons.

Sun vs. Lynx Best Bet: OVER 151.5 (-106)
The over on tonight's total hit in both Games 3 and 4 in Connecticut, with the teams combining for 171 and 174 points, respectively. As the series shifts back to Minnesota for a win-or-go-home Game 5, and with both offenses in rhythm, I’m expecting the high stakes to fuel another high-scoring affair.

Sun guard DiJonai Carrington has scored at least 13 points in all four games in the series and five of her past six overall.
