Minnesota has looked like the best team in the WNBA to start the year. The Lynx beat the Storm less than two weeks ago and have consistently taken care of business, winning five straight on the road and all by solid margins. Napheesa Collier is in MVP form, averaging 25.5 points per game on 52.5% shooting while also pulling down 8.9 boards. The Lynx offense is putting up 84.4 points per game on 46.3% from the field and averaging nearly 24 assists. They're moving the ball, they’re balanced, and they aren’t slowing down.

Defensively, Minnesota has been tough to beat. The Lynx are allowing just 73.7 points per contest—best in the league—while holding opponents to low shooting nights and dominating the turnover game with 8.1 steals per outing. They're also blocking 4.6 shots a game and crashing the glass with 34.9 rebounds per contest. There are no injuries reported, and they enter this matchup with arguably the most efficient two-way game in the league.

Seattle has steadied the ship after a rocky stretch and comes in with momentum. The Storm dropped three straight but bounced back with two strong wins against Dallas and Phoenix. Skylar Diggins-Smith has been the spark, averaging 17.8 points while shooting 44.8% from the field and chipping in with playmaking and leadership. Nneka Ogwumike has helped with offensive production, but team consistency has been a concern against top teams.

Defensively, the Storm are still vulnerable. They’re giving up 78.8 points per game and allowing teams to shoot at an efficient clip. While they average 7.0 steals and 4.1 blocks, they’re being outrebounded by over two boards per game compared to the Lynx. Katie Lou Samuelson remains out, thinning Seattle’s frontcourt depth. At 5-4, this team is solid, but the gap between them and Minnesota remains evident.

The Lynx are too sharp right now—both ends of the floor, no weak links, no injuries. They're scoring more, defending better, rebounding stronger, and already beat Seattle once. With Collier dominating and the team clicking, expect them to stay perfect. Final Score Prediction: Minnesota Lynx win and cover 86-76.
