Minnesota at San Antonio

Minnesota is not playing like a first-place powerhouse, losing four of seven despite being favored in every game. This is a look-ahead spot too, with Minnesota starting a three-game road trip and the next two are against defending champion Phoenix on Sunday and finishing against East-leading New York next Friday. The Lynx are on a 0-4 ATS run overall, as well as 0-4 ATS on the road. This is the second straight home game for San Antonio, a team with a winning home record. The Stars are 4-1 ATS against the Western Conference and on a 6-2 ATS run at home. There is ample motivation for San Antonio too, just 1.5 games behind Los Angeles for the West's final playoff spot. The Stars are 5-2 ATS when following a spread loss, plus 5-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. The Stars were competitive in an 83-76 loss to Minnesota on Aug. 11, leading by 11 at halftime. Take San Antonio both ATS and on the moneyline.
