Lynx team MIN vs LVA Dream11

MIN vs LVA Dream11: I love the WNBA and when I see the athletes get into their gears, it makes me want to play basketball too. It is full of extremely gifted women who have put a lot on line to get their contracts and have been well-versed through the college system for four years mostly or have been international standouts in countries not named USA before the age of 20. To catch on the talent, I recommend you to watch the tussle between the Minnesota Lynx and the Las Vegas Aces.

After a dour nil-four start to the season, the Lynx got it together in the last game. Boosted by Kayla McBride’s return the Lynx defeated the Sparks 87:84 and did a great job late in the game. On the other hand, the Aces compiled a 86:74 win versus the Mercury as Kelsey Plum dipped 20 points. The Lynx are not as tight-knit as the Aces yet, but can they pull one off away from home?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Lynx need more from supporting cast, Aces can run and gun

I don’t think the Lynx would have beaten the Sparks in the last game without McBride. She not only gives great scoring but can score late in the game. Sylvia Fowles continues to be an active rim-runner and can help the Lynx score when there are dry spells. Moriah Jefferson has gotten it done but apart from these three, more is needed. Jessica Shephard has done but veteran Aerial Powers has been completely off. Bridget Carleton can give some decent minutes but the Lynx needs more from Powers.

The Aces can run better than most teams in the league. The athletic presence of Wilson, Hamby, Plum, and Young is supported by a quick scorer Chelsea Gray. The starting lineup has a bunch of slashers, shooters, and inside finishers, which is a perfect recipe for a championship team. The Aces can end up as the most elite rebounding team and overall, they are tough to deal on both ends of the floor.

Performance Predictions

Highest scorer: A’ja Wilson: 21
Highest rebounder: A’ja Wilson: 14
Top assists maker: Chelsea Gray: 8
Score Prediction: Aces: 92    Lynx: 79
