Lynx vs. Liberty Game 1 Prediction

Take Napheesa Collier to go under 20.5 points. I took Collier to go over 21.5 points in the Lynx’s deciding Game 5 victory over the Sun on Tuesday night but this is a tougher matchup. When these two teams met on May 25 in Minnesota, Collier had a game-high in scoring, but she finished with only 15 points. When these two teams met again on July 2, this time in New York, Collier was again held to 15 points. In the final regular season game between these two teams in June 25, Collier scored just 18 points. She’s key to the Lynx’s success, but she just hasn’t fared well in previous meetings between these two teams, at least from a scoring standpoint.

Lynx vs. Liberty Game 1 WNBA Prediction: Napheesa Collier under 20.5 points
