◆ CheckLive verdict
Slight edge — Minnesota Lynx
Minnesota carry the better execution into this one, and that is where the lean sits — a 59% edge, enough to favour the Lynx without pretending it is comfortable. Indiana hold the steadier temperament, which keeps the margin tight rather than the result in doubt.
