Minnesota Lynx would look to extend their winning run in home-court matchup.
Last season’s runner-up, Minnesota Lynx will host Phoenix Mercury in Tuesday’s WNBA showdown. It will be a top of the table clash in the Western Conference. Lynx are unbeaten in the regular season and the Mercury have gone 5-2 in the first seven games.
Minnesota followed the defending champions in the regular season and made a 7-0 start to the 2025 season. Lynx overcame Valkyries 86-75 to secure their seventh straight victory. Minnesota is replicating the 2017 heroics when they had a 6-0 start and later, won the championship. This is the fifth time when Lynx won six or more games in first seven regular-season games. It has been a top-class start for them, and they would look to extend it on Tuesday.
