Sun vs Lynx Betting Pick
This game will be played at Target Center at 8:00 PM ET on Friday, July 22, 2022.
The Connecticut Sun enter the weekend solidly in the top-eight in the WNBA standings. The Minnesota Lynx, on the other hand, are a couple of games out of the eighth and final playoff spot. On Friday night, they face off in Minnesota, as the Lynx look to score a significant upset at home. In our WNBA picks for Friday, we check out Sun vs Lynx and give our best bet for the contest.
Why Bet The Sun:
✅ Reigning league MVP Jonquel Jones is probable for this contest for the Sun. She missed a couple of games recently in health and safety protocols. With her back, the Sun become a much more dangerous offensive rebounding team. Jones can also stretch the floor and help them from a shooting perspective. Both of those things will help the Sun pick up a win on the road here.
✅ For the Lynx, Damiris Dantas will miss this contest due to personal reasons. Dantas is not an elite player, but shows flashes of brilliance occasionally and can stretch the floor from the four spot. She would have been helpful against a Sun team with a lot of size and physicality. Expect the Lynx to miss her in this one.

✅ Connecticut has the number one net rating in the WNBA this season. Meanwhile, the Lynx are in the middle of the pack thanks in large part to a subpar defensive rating. This is thanks in large part to the Sun bench, which boasts the best net rating of any bench unit in the league. They should be able to neutralize a Lynx bench that ranks second in that department.
Connecticut Sun
The Connecticut Sun appear to have weathered the storm of being without their MVP Jonquel Jones over the past week. Jones was sidelined starting on Sunday due to health and safety protocols. She is expected to be back for this game against the Lynx, where the Sun will look to move back to within a game of the Aces for second place in the WNBA.
Any time you play the Lynx, the key to the game is neutralizing Sylvia Fowles on the glass. Fortunately for the Sun, they are the second best rebounding team in the WNBA, right behind the Lynx. With several big bodies available, including the returning Jonquel Jones, the Sun will like their chances to win the battle of the boards.
Minnesota Lynx
Heading into Friday, the Minnesota Lynx are two games back of the Dallas Wings and Atlanta Dream for seventh and eighth place in the WNBA standings. A win here at home would do them a lot of good as they look to move closer to a playoff berth. But to get a win like that, they will need to muster a big offensive performance against an elite defense.
Minnesota has lost two of their last three games, falling to the Mystics and Wings during that span. The Lynx did beat the Fever during that time frame, but the Fever have not won a game in about a month now. This will be another big test for the Lynx, and it will be interesting to see if Aerial Powers can step up as she has at other points in the season to help them pass it.
