| WNBA Preview: Seattle Storm vs. Minnesota Lynx |
The best place to wager on the WNBA is the online sportsbook BetPhoenix. The fast-paced Minnesota Lynx are winning games, and having fun doing it. Trying to keep up with the first-place Lynx are the Seattle Storm, who visit Minnesota on Friday in a Western Conference showdown. The Lynx (11-4) are seeking their fifth straight win and seventh in eight games. Their four losses are the fewest of any team in the league. “We’re having a lot of fun,” Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve told the team’s official website. “I think the biggest thing with this team is that we just have really good people and if you watch the way we play, I’m enjoying coaching them, they’re enjoying playing, and we work hard.” The Lynx scored a franchise-record 35 points off turnovers in Tuesday’s 85-72 home victory over Los Angeles. “I was really happy with the fact that we turned them over 25 times - 17 times in the first half,” Reeve said. “We like to score off of that.” The Sparks had no answer for an up-tempo Lynx offense that includes four players averaging in double figures - Seimone Augustus (16.3 ppg), Lindsay Whalen (14.1), Maya Moore (13.8) and Rebekkah Brunson (12.9). Augustus led Minnesota with 22 points Tuesday, shooting 10 of 17 from the floor. “When they’re coming down on the break, you’ve got Whalen in the middle, you’ve got Maya Moore on one wing and you’ve got Seimone on the other,” Sparks coach Joe Bryant told the Lynx’s official website. “Who do you guard? That’s like D-Wade and Kobe Bryant coming down on the wing. Who’re you going to guard?” Seattle (9-7) knows very well how dangerous the Lynx can be, having lost two of three meetings in the season series, though all three games were decided by 10 points or fewer. Augustus led all scorers with 19 points in Minnesota’s 69-62 home win July 16, when Tanisha Wright’s 16 points paced Seattle. The Storm have won both of their games since that contest to keep pace 2 1/2 games behind the Lynx. They prevailed 83-77 at Phoenix on Tuesday as Sue Bird filled up the stat sheet with 18 points, seven assists, five rebounds and three steals. “For us, this is just a really good road win against a very good team,” Bird said. “We’re kind of hovering around .500, so for us it’s about making a push in the second half of the season to move up in the standings.” Bird finished with 15 points in the last meeting between these teams, but scored 24 - her second-highest total of the season - in Seattle’s 81-74 home loss to the Lynx on June 9. This game will be close enough to take the points. Play on the Seattle Storm +8.5
