Minnesota Lynx 2019 Stats

Minnesota Lynx 2019 season: 18–16, scoring 78.4 points per game and allowing 75.9 (+2.5 average margin) across 34 games. Updated August 16, 2026.

Scouting report

The Lynx finished 18–16, 6th in the league standings, with a +3 net rating that ranked 5th of 12. Defense was the identity — 2nd in defensive rating (95.8 per 100) against a 6th-ranked offense (98.8). Nothing jumped off the page as a strength, and the weak spots were turnovers (20.5 a game, most in the league) and a lack of three-point volume (7.3 makes a game, 11th). Scoring was spread around — Odyssey Sims led at 14.5 a game, but no one accounted for more than 18% of the points, though the on/off numbers point to Napheesa Collier as the one they can least afford to lose — +16.7 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 5-game winning streak (Aug 22–Sep 6) and a 32-point rout of the Sun on Aug 9. The lows: a 4-game losing streak (Jun 8–Jun 16) and a 23-point loss at the Mystics on Aug 11. They went 7–12 against teams at .500 or better. Bottom line: a solid playoff-caliber team whose ceiling depended on addressing its turnover problem.
