At this time’s WNBA choose:

Jackie Younger Over 4.5 assists

The Aces switched up their rotation two video games in the past by having Jewell Loyd come off the bench and Kierstan Bell be a part of the beginning unit. It is labored up to now, as Las Vegas has received these two contests by a mixed 41 factors. By swapping a job participant like Bell into the beginning 5 as an alternative of the extra ball-dominant Loyd, we have additionally seen Jackie Younger’s help whole skyrocket over the previous two matchups.

Granted, two video games is just not the largest pattern dimension, but it surely’s positively fascinating to see Younger tally her most assists (11 final sport towards the Sparks) and second-most assists (8 two video games in the past towards the Wings) in her previous two outings—or since Loyd began coming off the bench. Younger has additionally gone Over 4.5 assists in six of her previous seven video games, together with when she racked up 5 dimes towards this similar Lynx staff in simply 27 minutes (she did not play the ultimate 13+ minutes as a result of it was a blowout). 

When these two groups performed final week, the Lynx rolled to a 109-78 dwelling victory whereas the Aces had been on the second leg of a street back-to-back. Saturday’s matchup, although, is in Las Vegas, the place the Lynx are simply 4.5-point street favorites, and the Aces are well-rested as a result of they have not performed since Tuesday. I am anticipating a tighter sport, which means extra Younger minutes and extra help alternatives.
