---

Why This Parlay Works
1. Minnesota Lynx (-7.5) at 1.91 (Fanatics):
- The Lynx are the league’s best defense, holding opponents to 74.1 PPG and 40.2% shooting.
- They’ve won 5 straight games and are 4.5 games ahead in the standings.
- The spread (-7.5) is aggressive but reasonable given their defensive dominance.

1. Under 161.5 Total Points at 1.87 (Fanatics):
   - The Lynx’s defense (74.1 PPG allowed) and the Mercury’s recent 100-point games (3 of 5) suggest a low-scoring matchup.
   - The total is set at 161.5, but the Lynx’s efficiency on defense (40.2% FG) and the Mercury’s struggles against elite defenses could push the game under.

Bookmaker Note
Use Fanatics for both legs to ensure the parlay is valid (same bookmaker). The Lynx’s defensive edge and the Mercury’s recent scoring inconsistency make this a high-conviction play.

Final Verdict: A smart, high-reward parlay for a team with elite defense facing a hot but exploitable offense.
