Tempo vs. Lynx Preview

Last night on Buckets, Dano Mataya and I gave out Tempo +6.5, and I'll take a small nibble on the moneyline as well.

The Lynx's depth isn't producing at the level anticipated before the season, and Toronto is less than 10 points away from a 5-0 record.

I liked Toronto over 15.5 wins prior to the season, and while I think the Lynx will see some positive regression prior to the eventual return of Napheesa Collier, Brittney Sykes, and Marina Mabrey are keeping this team competitive with the third-best offense in the league to this point.

Kiki Rice is an instant contributor off the bench.

Sandy Brondello isn't here to coach a tanker, and she's showing that early.

Best Bet: Tempo +6.5
