3 Betting Tips For Lynx vs Liberty Matchup

1. Now or Never For New York’s Stars

Not many who bet online could have predicted that the New York duo of Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu, two of the WNBA’s best offensive players, would combine to shoot 10-for-36 in Game 4 when the Liberty had a chance to clinch their first WNBA championship.

Jonquel Jones and rookie Leonie Fiebich did the heavy lifting on offense for the Liberty, combining for 40 points to give the Liberty a chance to win the series on Minnesota’s home court. Bridget Carleton’s free throws with 2.0 seconds left provided the winning margin for Minnesota. She also had a key 3-pointer with less than 3.5 minutes to play.

Look for better results from Stewart and Ionescu as the Liberty get to play on their home court with the WNBA title on the line. Two of Minnesota’s four WNBA titles came by winning Game 5, with those series-clinching wins in 2015 and 2017 coming on the road.

With the way this series has played out, the 5½-point spread might be a bit on the high side. Take New York to win the game but Minnesota to cover against the WNBA spreads.

Bet on Minnesota +5½ (-110)

2. Roll With the Winner-Take-All Game 5 To Go Over

The total for Game 5 is set at 157½ points, and that is the lowest for a game between the Lynx and the Liberty since 2020. The teams have played eight times this season with four games landing under the total and the four others going over.

It might be smart to jump on that 157½-point total early because it won’t be a surprise to see if it goes up as the game approaches.

Both of these teams get after it on the defensive end, but the best online sports betting option could be to go with the game to land over the total as the 2024 WNBA season comes to a close.

3. Carleton, Fiebich Lead Way In A Three-Leg Parlay

Even with all the star power on the rosters for the Lynx and the Liberty, the series would not have made it to Game 5 without contributions from role players. Minnesota’s Alanna Smith has +108 odds to have at least 10 points, while Carleton is at -129 to have at least nine points.
