Lynx vs Storm Game Preview, Storm Win and Cover
Our Lynx vs Storm betting analysis is going to look at the game spread and these team’s matchup history to determine some good bets to make to bet on WNBA teams.
The Minnesota Lynx will try to recapture their magic against the Seattle Storm this week while likely missing their best player Napheesa Collier. Last time these teams played, Minnesota was favored by one point, but the Lynx crushed the Storm 83-64.
Now, the Lynx are likely without their best player Collier, and the best WNBA sportsbooks have them as +3 underdogs on the road against Seattle.
The WNBA moneyline odds have the Storm as -164 favorites to win and the Lynx as +134 underdogs. The total is set at 153.5.
Given their recent head-to-head history and the Storm’s past struggles containing Collier, the Storm have a good chance to cover the spread without her in the lineup. Our Lynx vs Storm betting analysis believes betting on the Storm to win straight up is also a solid bet given their home court advantage and injury luck in this game.

Lynx vs Storm Odds
The Minnesota Lynx have dominated the WBNA season series against the Seattle Storm so far, winning all three encounters and covering the spread as well.
The first game was a close battle for three quarters before the Lynx pulled away with a dominant 20-10 fourth quarter to secure an 83-70 victory. Nneka Ogwumike led the Storm with a 20-point, nine-rebound performance, while Jewell Loyd notched a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds) in the losing effort. Alanna Smith and Napheesa Collier were offensive forces for the Lynx, each contributing over 20 points.
The second matchup remained tight, even going into overtime. However, the Lynx defense clamped down in the extra period, limiting the Storm to just five points and securing a near double-digit win.
The Lynx completed the season sweep with an even more decisive 83-64 victory. Trailing at halftime, they flipped the script entirely by outscoring the Storm 47-23 in the second half. The Lynx defense bottled up Ezi Magbegor and Diggins-Smith, holding them to single-digit scoring nights.

Our Final Picks
Seattle Storm have a strong record at home (9-3) and a good spread record (8-4). However, they’ve struggled lately (two losses in three games, unders in three of four). Overall, they have a good spread record (14-8).
The Lynx have a strong spread record (15-8), especially on the road (8-3). They’ve dominated the Storm this season (3-0) but might miss their star player which will cause problems.
While the Storm are favored at home, the Lynx’ potential Collier absence makes it a tough call. We favor the Storm to win at home in our Lynx vs Storm betting analysis.
