It is game five tonight in Minnesota as the Lynx and Sun battle for a trip to the WNBA Finals. Learn how I use predictive models and AI to make my AI Sports Betting Prediction. 

Preview of Connecticut Sun vs Minnesota Lynx AI Picks 

All season, the Minnesota Lynx and Connecticut Sun battled for position in the WNBA Standings. Now, they have one more game to decide who will make it to the WNBA Finals to play the New York Liberty. 

Read how this AI-Powered WNBA Prediction uses artificial intelligence and predictive models to guide my sports wagering decision. 

Connecticut Sun

The Sun known for their defensive abilities, exploded in game four to score 92 points, in a 92-82 victory. 

Tyasha Harris returned to the starting lineup after missing game one, and coming off the bench in games two and three. Harris was ready to roll as she put together an impressive stat line. 

• 20 points (Season high) 
• 7-11 from the field 
• 4-5 from beyond the arc

The Sun will need Harris to continue her hot shooting in game five. 

Connecticut showed how balanced they are offensively in game four, with five players scoring double digits. This has been a strength of this team all year long. 

Minnesota Lynx 

The Lynx dropped game one of this series and then responded with two dominant wins to take a two-to-one advantage. 

It looked like they were going to win the series in four games as they finished the first half leading by seven points.  But the third quarter was not kind to the Lynx as they were outscored 13 to 25. 

Bridgett Carleton had one of her worst shooting performances of the season. Shooting just two for eleven from the field, all three-point attempts. Carleton shot 44% from three this year and should rebound in game five. 

Carleton’s three-point shooting ability is a factor in my Connecticut Sun vs Minnesota Lyx AI prediction.  

How I use Rithmm models for my Connecticut Sun vs Minnesota Lynx AI Prediction

Rithmm recently reached the top 100 sports apps for a reason. Their user-friendly product is an excellent tool that every sports gambler should have in their toolbox. 

Founded by MIT-educated data scientists and powered by artificial intelligence and predictive models Rithmm is absolutely killing it. 

Rithmm allows users to minimize a minimum of three models or you can have the data scientists do their thing and they will build them for you. 

For WNBA models they utilize the below factors to produce their game predictions. 

Not only does Rithmm provide models, but they also have plenty of stats and trends. It's super convenient and you don’t have to leave the app to find important data. 

The following trends/stats were pulled from the Rithmm application. 

• Lynx 80.6 ppg L5
• Sun 79.2 ppg L5
• Lynx allowing 79 points a game in this series 
• Sun allowing 79.75 points per game in this series

This has been a competitive series with an average margin of victory being 6.75 points. 

Current betting odds: 

• Lynx -4.5 
• Total: 151.5 

Elimination games can be tricky. The Lynx should win and cover. The game should go over. But I’m not confident in either wager. 

I have watched both teams a lot this year and have a pretty good feel for both Connecticut and Minnesota. And I trust the Lynx more. 

I believe Minnesota will want to hang a number tonight and make sure that they leave no doubt. I’m leaning towards the Lynx team total of over 77.5 points.
