Lynx vs. Sky Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Friday, May 29

Chicago’s last victory came at Minnesota on May 17, but the outing saw its best player lost for the season. F Rickea Jackson sustained a torn ACL in the 86-79 win, and the Sky haven't won a game since.

One of those defeats occurred at the hands of Minnesota in an 85-75 setback last Saturday. The Sky were held to 32% shooting from the floor, including 6-of-29 from 3-point range.

Chicago was torched by Toronto its last time out, allowing a season-high 111 points and 12 treys to the Tempo. Since a 2-0 start, the Sky are 1-4 straight-up and against the spread (ATS) and have lost nine of their last 10 home games dating back to last September.

The Lynx have topped the 85-point mark in six of seven games, with their lowest output coming in the home defeat to the Sky nearly two weeks ago. Minnesota shot nearly 60% from the floor in Wednesday’s 96-81 triumph over Atlanta.
