The Minnesota Lynx visit the Chicago Sky at 7:30 p.m. ET in another early-season rematch between two teams that have already seen each other twice in recent weeks. Chicago won the first meeting 86-79, while Minnesota answered with an 85-75 road win last Saturday.
Those two head-to-head results landed at 165 and 160 total points, which makes the current 172.5 number look aggressive at first glance. The reason for the higher total is Minnesota’s recent offensive form, as the Lynx have started to look far more explosive since those earlier meetings.

Minnesota Lynx vs. Chicago Sky Prediction
Minnesota has scored 96 and 100 points in two recent games, showing a much higher ceiling than the earlier matchups with Chicago suggested. The Lynx have been getting cleaner half-court offense, stronger guard creation, and more efficient interior finishing. When Courtney Williams is controlling tempo and Natasha Howard is finishing through contact, Minnesota can carry a total even if the opponent is only moderately efficient.
Chicago has already proven it can score enough against this Lynx defense to contribute. The Sky put up 86 in the first meeting and found rhythm behind strong guard play and frontcourt activity. Even if Chicago has started to regress after a stronger-than-expected opening stretch, this is still a home spot where the Sky should be able to reach the high 70s or low 80s if the pace holds.
The key difference from the first two meetings is Minnesota’s current rhythm. The Lynx were not fully rolling offensively in those earlier games, but recent results show a team finding its pace and shot distribution. If Minnesota gets into the 90s again, this total becomes much easier to clear, and Chicago does not need a perfect offensive game to help push it over.
Minnesota Lynx vs. Chicago Sky Best Bet
- Pick: Over 172.5 Total Points (-110) Click here to get the best odds at DraftKings Sportsbook
Over 172.5 total points is the angle. The head-to-head unders are noted, but the market adjustment makes sense because Minnesota’s offense has reached a new level. Expect the Lynx to drive the scoring pace, with Chicago doing enough at home to push this above the number.
