The Lynx hit a bump in the road on Tuesday, losing the Commissioner’s Cup final to the Indiana Fever. However, they have been in fine form and are on a two-game winning streak, defeating the Golden State Valkyries (82-71) and Washington Mystics (92-75).

The Commissioner’s Cup loss hasn’t deterred Minnesota, who's 7-3 in its last 10 games. The team is first in the league, three and a half games ahead of the New York Liberty (12-5) in second.

Meanwhile, Angel Reese’s points prop against the Lynx sits at 14.5. This is higher than her season average of 12.4 points, but the Sky forward has been in excellent form lately, recording 15.6 points and 14.4 rebounds over her last five games. She is likely to surpass the mark on Sunday.

The Lynx are the heavy favorites to beat the Sky. With the kind of form Collier and Co. have enjoyed lately, it's tough to imagine Chicago upsetting them at Target Center. This is likely to be a low-scoring game with the points total staying below 159.5.

Our prediction: The Lynx to win
