New York Liberty at Minnesota Lynx

Lynx +3 (-112)

The Liberty eked out a 3-point win in Game 3 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. But they needed 30 points from star forward Breanna Stewart, as well as a game-winning 3 from Sabrina Ionescu to get it done.

Granted, those are two of the top players in the W. Elite players make elite plays in the biggest moments. But the Lynx aren't short on star power, and they've shown enough this series to back them at +3 with their backs against the wall at home.

Minnesota's Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride played fine in Game 3. They combined for 41 points on 16-of-38 shooting and played nearly every minute of the game. We can expect the two to shoot better in Game 4. But even if they don't, Minnesota should have a better chance to cover if Alanna Smith can stay out of foul trouble.

The 6-foot-4 Smith played a postseason-low 20 minutes due to foul trouble, fouling out despite picking up just 4 fouls in Games 1 and 2 combined. Smith has been the definition of an X-factor the last two games as the Lynx have a +22 point differential in 51 minutes with her on the floor. They're -39 in 29 minutes without her.

Smith has dealt with foul issues this season, but she didn't have more than 3 in six prior meetings with the Liberty this season. Assuming she manages to stay on the floor more on Game 4, the Lynx should be much better equipped to deal with Stewart. Based on the last two games, Minnesota's lined up to cover as three-point home underdogs if Alanna Smith can stay out of foul trouble.

Breanna Stewart Under 21.5 Points (-128)

Breanna Stewart is coming off a 30-point performance in Game 3 -- her second-best scoring performance of the postseason. And while she's averaging 21 points across nine playoff games, she's only cracked 22 points twice.

Considering I'm on the Lynx to cover the spread in Game 4, I like their chances of holding Stewart under 21.5 points. That's something they did in Games 1 and 2 -- as well as in two of four regular season matchups.

It's something we've come to expect from a Lynx side that was among the league leaders in defensive rating and is anchored by the defensive player of the year, Napheesa Collier. We've seen them do a good job against Stewart across their head-to-head matchups this season, and I'm banking on them to rev back up that defensive intensity in a must-win Game 4.
