Earlier on Sunday, I shared in my WNBA Best Bets column \u2013 Peter\u2019s Points<\/a> \u2013 why Jackson is a great prop target against Minnesota:\u00a0<\/p>\n Los Angeles may regret trading Rickea Jackson already, as the former first-round pick is balling to start this season in Chicago.<\/p>\n Jackson is averaging 22.0 points per game while shooting 38.9 percent from the field and 31.6 percent from 3. While I don\u2019t love the efficiency for the Sky star, she’s had to carry a major workload with Courtney Vandersloot, Azura Stevens and DiJonai Carrington all out of the lineup.\u00a0<\/p>\n On top of that, Skylar Diggins is now questionable for Sunday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n So, Jackson \u2013 who took 22 shots in her last matchup with Phoenix \u2013 could be called upon for even more offense on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n Jackson has taken 54 shots (18 per game) and 22 free throws already this season. She has one of the higher floors of a scorer in the league right now, and this line is simply too low, especially since Minnesota is just 10th in defensive rating in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sky vs. Lynx Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n Diggins\u2019 status for this game is going to be crucial, as the Sky are already thin depth wise with Carrington, Stevens and Vandersloot out.<\/p>\n However, I think there\u2019s an argument for the Sky to hang around in this matchup.<\/p>\n Chicago is 2-1 against the spread this season (Minnesota is a perfect 3-0), and it has the No. 2 defensive rating in the W. While the Sky came up short on the road against Phoenix, Minnesota hasn\u2019t really won at margin this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Lynx have a one-point loss and two wins by four points (including one over Phoenix) to open this season. Minnesota is also just 10th in the W in defensive rating, so the Sky should be able to get something going on offense, especially with Collier still sidelined.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019ll take the points on Sunday, as these teams are both short-handed \u2013 and pretty even \u2013 to start the 2026 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pick: Sky +4.5 (-105 at DraftKings)<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Claim the latest\u00a0DraftKings promo code<\/a>\u00a0offer today.
