Minnesota Lynx vs. Seattle Storm preview

The Lynx enter this game determined to retain their unbeaten record. Alongside the New York Liberty, they are the only teams yet to lose and will go top with a win. In their last game, they beat the Dallas Wings 81-65.

Meanwhile, the Seattle have turned around their fortunes in the last two games. After three straight defeats following a 3-1 start to the season, they beat the Phoenix Mercury and the Dallas Wings in their last two games to return to winning ways.

Although they will look to continue this fine form, the Lynx will prove to be a tough challenge for Skylar Diggins and Co. Napheesa Collier leads the league in scoring and will be the biggest threat for the Storm. She has recorded a double-double in her last five appearances, recording 28 points and 10 rebounds in her previous game.

However, Skylar Diggins and Gabby Williams have been in fine form themselves, while Nneka Ogwumike remains a constant threat. This game promises to be a close one, as its result will have major implications on the Western Conference standings.
