WNBA: Storm vs Lynx Picks and Odds | August 28, 2025

Two teams will battle it out in an important game. The Seattle Storm will take on the Minnesota Lynx at the Target Center. These two teams last met back at the beginning of the month and the Lynx won by four points.

Seattle is 20-19 as we near the end of the season and is holding onto the eighth playoff spot. They come into this game off a bad loss to the Fever on Tuesday. The Storm are 4-6 in their last ten games and 12-9 on the road this season.

The Storm shot less than 50% last game and were put rebounded 50-25. These are things they cannot let happen if they want to make the playoffs. It’s not going to help them that they’re about to play the best team in the league.

They need a bounce back from Sky Diggins who only had 6 points but also had 8 assists. Nneka Ogwumike was led the team with 17 points but only managed to grab 2 rebounds. The rest of the team was nowhere to be found, and they need to snap this kind of play.

Minnesota comes off a big win with the return of Collier

Lynx forwards Napheesa Collier and Alanna Smith both wait for the game to resume after a whistle is blown.

Minnesota is 30-7 this season and the best team in the league. They come into this game on a two-game winning streak after beating the Fever on Sunday. The Lynx are 8-2 in their last ten games and are 18-1 at home this season.

Napheesa Collier has finally returned to the team after injury. They were without her for twenty-two days and man did she have herself a game last game. Collier had 32 points and 9 rebounds looking right back to her MVP form.

This team is deep, and I’ve been saying it all year. The Lynx went 4-2 while Collier was out, including winning four in a row to start. Their depth is what is going to set them above the rest come playoff time.

Home court is where they love to be, so the Storm have their work cut out for them. The Lynx play a slow, but on point game that throws teams off. Let’s check out the odds and get into the Storm vs. Lynx picks.

It’s tough to go against the Lynx in this one and to cover those points. Minnesota already handed Seattle a loss this year and I feel another one coming. This is the perfect time for the Lynx to get hot, and they’ll get that third win in a row.

This is the best offense in the league going up against a team who has let themselves slip all the way to eighth. Minnesota’s offense is also going to be cooking in Collier’s second game back. Expect for them to take an early lead and put the game away by the second half.

I love Collier to get 22 or more points for -114. We’re getting insane value for a player who has put up 30+ points in three of her last four games. I also love her rebounds for 8 or more at -120. She’s hit in five out of her last six games and also hits at a 90% clip vs. the Storm.

Another play I like is Kayla McBride to hit 3 or more three pointers for +116. She is coming off three straight games of hitting the number and the volume is always there with her. McBride missed her last game vs. the Storm, but hit the previous five straight.
