LOSS

Connecticut is a huge dog at Los Angeles, but playing better after a dismal start, winning two of the last six, as well as a triple overtime loss to Washington as a dog. They beat Seattle, 77-76, as a +3 dog. Alex Bentley leads Connecticut in scoring (13.5 points per game) while guard Jasmine Thomas averages 11.4 points and 4.7 assists. Connecticut is 14-6-1 ATS against the Western Conference. Los Angeles won't be sky-high for this game, after playing two huge emotional showdowns with Minnesota the last two games. Minnesota beat Los Angeles 72-69 on June 21 at the Staples Center, knocking the Sparks from the ranks of the unbeaten. Los Angeles won its first 11 games before the loss. The Sparks then returned the favor 72 hours later at Target Center in Minneapolis, winning 94-76 to hand the Lynx their first loss of the season. Now they come home in a game they are supposed to roll, however the Sparks are 7-16-1 ATS against a team with a losing record, plus 16-36-1 ATS in their last 53 home games. The big dog is playing better and will get the cover -- and a huge let-down spot for the home team could mean an upset is in the cards. Play Connecticut ATS and also on the moneyline.
