The Lynx are a slight -135 favorite to win, according to DraftKings.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a recent WNBA story, via The Associated Press:<\/b><\/p>\n

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 After coming so close to the WNBA championship last year<\/a>, the Minnesota Lynx have picked right up where they left off.<\/p>\n

They sure weren\u2019t satisfied with the status quo, though, as evidenced by their recent acquisition of DiJonai Carrington. The Most Improved Player award winner and All-Defensive First Team selection in 2024 has bolstered the league leader\u2019s depth, injected a dose of two-way energy into an already determined club and made a seamless transition after the midseason switch.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s been a great addition,\u201d starting forward Bridget Carleton said. \u201cPlaying against her has always been a challenge. She\u2019s just feisty, competitive, always wants to win, plays hard every single possession.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even with superstar Napheesa Collier sidelined<\/a> by a sprained right ankle, the Lynx haven\u2019t missed a beat. They\u2019re in first place by six games at 27-5, surging toward the No. 1 overall seed for the playoffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just want to feel like you\u2019re a better team when she comes back into the team, that you\u2019ve figured some things out, that people are playing with confidence,\u201d associate head coach Eric Thibault said. \u201cOur group\u2019s attitude is right about it. Nobody feels sorry for ourselves or anything like that. We just go out and battle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carrington was acquired from the Dallas Wings on Aug. 3 for backup forward Diamond Miller, injured guard Karlie Samuelson and Minnesota\u2019s 2027 second-round draft pick.e<\/p>\n

Miller was the second overall pick in the 2023 draft, so Carrington came at a price. But president of basketball operations and head coach Cheryl Reeve, who\u2019s chasing a fifth title with Minnesota, has this team fully in win-now mode with Collier in her prime and an experienced lineup around her led by five-time All-Star shooting guard Kayla McBride, two-time All-Star point guard Courtney Williams and shot-blocking specialist Alanna Smith patrolling the post.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a winner, and this is a winning organization,\u201d Carrington said.<\/p>\n

The 5-foot-11 native of San Diego, who played her first four WNBA seasons with the Connecticut Sun, was dealt to Dallas earlier this year. She averaged a career-best 5.1 rebounds in 20 games with the Wings.<\/p>\n

In three games since the trade, and coincidentally since Collier was injured, Carrington has 40 points, 12 rebounds and six steals. The Lynx take a five-game winning streak into their game on Saturday against the defending champion New York Liberty<\/a>, whom they\u2019ve already beaten twice this month in a measure of revenge for their overtime loss in New York last year in the decisive game of the WNBA Finals.<\/p>\n

In the previous round, when the Lynx beat the Sun in a five-game series, Reeve became enamored by Carrington, who had 17 points, 12 rebounds, three steals and one block in defeat in the decisive game of those semifinals.<\/p>\n

The chance this summer to acquire a defensive ace on the perimeter who could alleviate some of the burden on McBride as well as provide more scoring off the bench was one the Lynx couldn\u2019t miss.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe felt like we could use a little bit more help as we made this run,\u201d Reeve said. \u201cIf you stay exactly the same, it\u2019s really hard to accomplish and get back and get over the hump, so we wanted to keep the group together \u2014 but we also thought we needed a little bit more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams and Natisha Hiedeman played with Carrington with the Sun, so there was pre-existing chemistry. Smith was a teammate of Carrington\u2019s at Stanford, as well, so they were already close.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was like a friend coming home,\u201d Smith said. \u201cThat\u2019s kind of how it felt. I was excited. I think she\u2019s a piece that\u2019s really good for us and only going to help us get to the point we want to get to, which is a championship.\u201d<\/p>\n
