Minnesota's Napheesa Collier is one of the top-five players in the WNBA and will be the best player on the court. But after Collier, the Sun has four of the next five best players on the court.

Connecticut is the top defensive team in the league and fully tested when it comes to this late in the playoffs with this being the fifth and deciding game of this semifinals series.

So I find value in taking this many points with the Sun.

The Lynx are a strong defensive team, too. But Connecticut gave up the fewest points per game and had the best defensive rating.
