Lynx vs. Sun Game 3 Prediction
Take Napheesa Collier to lead both teams in rebounds tonight. Collier was the leading rebounder in each of the previous two games in this series. She finished with nine in Game 1 and 12 in Game 2. If we go back to the regular season matchups between these two teams, Collier was also the leading rebounder in the May 23 matchup. She didn’t lead both teams in rebounds in the other two regular season games, but we’re getting plus odds on this prop tonight. It’s worth the risk.
