There will be some July 4th fireworks at Target Center in Minneapolis on Thursday night, as the Minnesota Lynx host the Connecticut Sun. Both of these teams are in the top-three in the WNBA standings this season and the winner of this game will make a huge statement going into the second half of their season. Keep reading for our WNBA betting picks and our breakdown of Sun vs Lynx.
This game will be played at 8:00 PM ET at Target Center on Thursday, July 4, 2024.
Connecticut Sun
The Connecticut Sun enter Thursday night’s WNBA action with a record of 15-4, good for second place in the standings. They have accomplished that with their defense, which ranks number one in the W in points per game allowed. And that defense will be needed to get a win tonight to defeat the Minnesota Lynx to stay in second place in the WNBA going into the weekend.
It is no secret that the Lynx like to use the three-point shot to spread out opposing defenses and get open looks. But the defensive discipline of the Sun could make that harder to do than usual today. And with the Sun holding an advantage in the physicality department around the paint, we could see them come away with this game if they are able to stay attached to Minnesota’s shooters.
Minnesota Lynx
The Minnesota Lynx are in third place in the WNBA standings, holding a record of 14-5. They are coming off of a loss in their last game to the New York Liberty, one where the Lynx went scoreless for nearly eight minutes in the fourth quarter to throw away their chances of victory. Tonight, the Lynx will aim for more offensive consistency as they look to get back into the win column and back into second place in the standings.
Minnesota’s three-point shooting has been very good this season, ranking number one in the WNBA as a team. The question tonight will be whether they can continue to knock in perimeter shots against the league’s best defense. That will require crisp ball movement, in addition to the quality shooting we have come to expect from the Lynx. Whether or not that takes place will ultimately decide this Sun vs Lynx affair.
