Chicago at Minnesota

Chicago is a big dog but highly motivated, trailing Seattle by two games for the final playoff spot. Each team has two games to play. Chicago is 4-4 SU the last eight games, winning all four as a dog. They were even a +10 dog at Connecticut, the top team in the East, and won 96-83. Now they head to Minnesota, the top team in the West. Chicago is on a 9-4 spread run on the road. Minnesota is back from a rugged three-game road trip, including a showdown at Los Angeles in a 78-67 defeat. After an 80-69 win over Indiana on Wednesday, Minnesota is just 5-5 SU since losing point guard Lindsay Whalen, so they are not the same team without her. Minnesota is 1-4 ATS after a victory and Chicago has covered four in a row against the Lynx. Play Chicago.
