💰 Potential Return: $100 ➝ $1,000
🧠 Why This Parlay Works:
- Collier is Minnesota’s go-to scorer and hasn’t missed a beat to start 2025.
- Charles will be forced to clean up on the glass with Morrow and Rivers out.
- The Lynx are undefeated, dominant at home, and the Sun are down bodies.
- Despite Connecticut’s defensive style, both teams have hit overs more often than not — and Minnesota’s assist-heavy offense fuels pace.
🧠 Final Lynx vs. Sun Prediction
Minnesota looks like a serious contender in the early stretch of the 2025 season, led by Collier’s MVP-caliber form. The Sun are still adjusting without their full roster and have been inconsistent on both ends of the floor. Expect the Lynx to pull away late, especially with their top-ranked assist rate and strong defense.
🔒 Prediction: Lynx 85, Sun 68
✅ Best Bets: Lynx -16, Over 160.5
