New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx Prediction & Game Preview - July 28, 2023 | WNBA

The New York Liberty will be on the second night of a back-to-back when they face the Minnesota Lynx. New York won their contest against the Atlanta Dream on Thursday, July 27, 95-84, and will enter their game against Minnesota full of confidence and momentum.

The Lynx are also playing on the tail end of a back-to-back, having defeated the Washington Mystics on Thursday, but will now face a much sterner challenge in the shape of the Liberty.

Heading into the contest, the Lynx are projected to be without Napheesa Collier, Rachel Banham, and Natalie Achonwa, who will all miss the game due to injury. However, the Liberty has a clean bill of health and will be at full strength for their game against the third-ranked team in the Western Conference.

New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx Prediction

While both teams are coming into their upcoming game on the back of a victory, the Liberty has proven to be among the best teams in the WNBA this season. As such, Minnesota will be the underdog in their contest against the top-ranked team in the Eastern Conference.

New York has a winning record at home and on the road, while the Lynx are a .500 road team and have lost 8 of their 13 games in front of their own crowd. With such inconsistencies in their game, the Lynx will have to be at their very best if they want a chance at inflicting the sixth defeat of the Liberty's season.

Against the Atlanta Dream, Breanna Stewart had a big scoring night, registering 33 points and 12 rebounds for the Liberty, while Jonquel Jones also had a double-double performance of her own, dropping 19 points and grabbing 13 rebounds.

Courtney Vandersloot will also have a big part to play for New York, as her playmaking skills could cause serious issues for the Lynx defense.

On the other side of the court, Diamond Miller will be out to replicate her 21-point performance from Thursday night, while Kayla McBride will likely be the secondary scoring option. Lindsay Allen will likely feature heavily, too, as she looks to control the pace of play.
