Prop Bets: Minnesota Lynx VS Chicago Sky 2025-07-12
WNBA Showdown: Chicago Sky vs. Minnesota Lynx
Date: July 12, 2025 | Time: 1:00 PM ET | Venue: Wintrust Arena
The Verdict:
The Chicago Sky are about to make Angel Reese the star of the show—again. With 16.1 rebounds per game over her last seven contests (including 19 and 16 in two prior matchups against the Lynx), Reese is a rebounding machine that Minnesota’s porous defense (35.1 RPG allowed) can’t seem to stop. The Lynx, despite their 18-3 record, are facing a Sky team that’s covered the spread in seven straight games, including a 3-0 "Over" streak in Chicago.
The Odds Breakdown:
- Moneyline: Chicago Sky (+570) vs. Minnesota Lynx (-114)
- Implied probability: Lynx at 91.7% to win (per -114 odds). Sky’s long shot? Maybe, but Angel Reese’s gravity defies physics.
- Spread: Chicago +11.5 (-110) / Lynx -11.5 (-110)
- The Lynx’s implied chance to cover? 53.7%. But with Reese averaging 8.7 offensive rebounds per game against them? This could be a sieve for the Lynx.
- Total: 160.5 (Even money)
- The Over is 3-0 in Sky’s last three home games. Bring the popcorn for a rebound-fest.
Prop Bets to Watch:
1. Angel Reese Rebounds: Over 12.5 (-130). She’s averaging 16.1 RPG in her last seven. The Lynx’s "rebound defense"? A sieve.
2. Napheesa Collier Points: Over 21.5 (-122). The Lynx’s star needs to outshine Reese’s dominance.
3. Courtney Williams Assists: Over 5.5 (-136). If she dishes 6+ dimes, the Lynx might finally crack the code.
The Play-by-Play (Humor Edition):
The Sky are banking on Angel Reese turning into a human trash can, while the Lynx hope Napheesa Collier can single-handedly outscore Chicago’s entire bench. With the spread at -11.5 for Minnesota, it’s like they’re asking a vegan to defend against a steakhouse—possible, but unlikely.
Final Pick:
Take the Chicago Sky +11.5 to cover. Even if they lose by 10, Reese’s stat line will make you forget about the final score. And if you’re feeling spicy, grab the Over 160.5—this one’s going bonkers.
Prediction: Chicago Sky 82, Minnesota Lynx 78. (But make it 95-90 if you’re betting on chaos.) 🏀💥
