Lynx -13.5 – Minnesota enters Saturday’s WNBA Commissioner’s Cup showdown at Target Center riding a six-game win streak and a 8-2 record, while Seattle arrives after losing four straight and dropping to 3-8. With key players listed out for both teams, the Lynx are favored
Saturday afternoon at the Target Center carries a blunt kind of weight: the Seattle Storm are trying to stop a slide. and the Minnesota Lynx are doing everything they can to keep rolling. The matchup is framed as a Commissioner’s Cup game, but the scoreboard storyline is already written in the records.
Seattle comes in with a 3-8 season mark after losing four straight and seven of its last nine games. Minnesota, meanwhile, is sitting at 8-2 after stringing together a six-game win streak.
The two teams split their four meetings last season, with each side winning once at home and once on the road. This time, the location swings toward Minnesota—Saturday’s game is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on June 6, with ABC carrying the broadcast.
Injuries add another layer of uncertainty, even in a game where Minnesota is expected to be in control. The Storm’s injury report lists Lexie Brown, Ezi Magbegor, Taina Mair, and Taylor Thierry as out. For the Lynx. Emma Cechova. Napheesa Collier. and Dorka Juhasz are also out. with the report listing as out for the Seattle side and Minnesota side as specified.
On the betting lines, Minnesota is positioned as the bigger threat. The spread has Storm +13.5 (-115) against Lynx -13.5 (-105). The total is set at 159.5, with the over priced at -108 and the under at -112. The moneyline isn’t listed in the material provided.
The prop spotlight leans hard toward Minnesota’s offense through Olivia Miles. The recommended best prop bet: Olivia Miles over 27.5 points, rebounds, and assists, priced at -104.
Miles has been building toward that number. The rookie started the season hot with 32 PRA in her debut, then dipped under 26.5 in her next four games. Since then, she has gone over 27.5 PRA in five straight games. Most recently, she cleared the mark on points alone, scoring a career-high 28 points last time out.
Her early-season averages are listed at 17.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game—numbers that fit the kind of matchup script Minnesota typically turns into, especially against a Seattle team that has been losing by margins of at least 14 points in three of its last four losses.
All of this sets up a game that feels less like a coin flip and more like a fork in two different directions. Seattle’s recent results have come with heavy scoring gaps. while Minnesota showed its dominance before finishing last time out with a three-point victory after winning five straight by double digits.
With that swing in form and style, the pick is straightforward: the Lynx to win big at home.
Prediction and pick: Lynx -13.5 (-105).

Storm +13.5 is wild, that’s like free money or they’re just gonna lose bigger.
So Minnesota is -13.5?? That seems like a layup for them lol. I dunno why Seattle even shows up if they lost 4 straight.
I’m confused because it says key players are out for both teams, but then it’s like Minnesota is still “expected to be in control.” If Collier is out isn’t that the whole point? also why is ABC broadcasting like it’s a playoff game??
Betting line says Lynx -13.5 and total 159.5 which sounds lowkey impossible unless the Storm forget how to shoot. Olivia Miles over 27.5 points??? I’ve never even heard of her doing that every game, so this feels like a trap.
