On Tuesday, August 1, the Connecticut Sun will have the Minnesota Lynx in their sights in the WNBA. The Sun are second in the Eastern Conference, winning 18 of their 25 games but lost to the Lynx in their last meeting.
The Lynx, have won three straight games, will be confident in their ability to make it four in a row and record a second straight upset. Sitting third in the Western Conference, Minnesota is attempting to chase down the Dallas Wings, who are second.
While Minnesota is clearly in form, the Sun are a top-3 team in the WNBA - both in terms of talent and current standings. It's hard to envision that the Lynx will find a way to beat a team that has appeared impenetrable at times.

Connecticut Sun vs Minnesota Lynx Prediction
The Suns will enter their contest against the Lynx as the clear-cut favorite. They did lose their last outing against Minnestota, but their record throughout the season should speak for itself. Only the New York Liberty and Las Vegas Aces have enjoyed a better season than the Sun.
The Lynx are a .500 team this season, and while they won their last meeting with the Sun, it's unlikely that lightening would strike twice. Connecticut will come into the contest against Minnesota looking for revenge and have all the depth and talent necessary to make it happen.

Connecticut Sun vs Minnesota Lynx: Players to watch
DeWanna Bonner and Brionna Jones will continue to lead the line for the Sun against the Lynx and will hope to even the score following their recent loss.
For the Lynx, Napheesa Collier and Diamond Miller are two talents to keep a close eye on, as they're capable of swinging the momentum of games in an instant. Collier is also a very efficient scorer, averaging 48.4% this season, which will put some pressure on the Sun defense.
