Seattle Storm at Minnesota Lynx 5/29/19 – WNBA Pick, Preview, Prediction
The Storm were able to pick up a win in their opening home game as they were able to beat Phoenix by 9 points in the game. However, the Storm do have some strengths that need to be worked on and winning on the road could really help the Storm out in this game. The Lynx were able to pick up a win in their first game as well, which was a home win that saw them blow out Chicago by a score of 89-71. This could really help the Lynx as the crowd support is going to help them out quite a bit.

My Free Storm at Lynx WNBA Pick: Minnesota Lynx +1
The Lynx had a great opening game and it was a game the Lynx dominated in. What else was impressive is the Lynx did not have to end up like the Storm and rely on a single player to control most of the game and that could be the Storm’s problem in this game as Howard is unable to produce at the same level as usual and that leads to the Storm scrambling for some support. Final Score, Minnesota Lynx win 85-76.
