Connecticut at Minnesota

Connecticut got a boost in the last game with the debut of Saniya Rivers (11 points and four rebounds off the bench), the eighth overall pick in the draft. Connecticut is No. 1 in the WNBA in percentage of points in the paint (53.1%) for their new coach, plus third in points in the paint per game (39), and third in free-throw shooting (84.8%). Minnesota is 3-0 and a huge favorite. They were a double-digit favorite at home in the last game but squeaked by winless Dallas, 85-81. They were outscored in the paint, 28-24, turned it over 19 times, and missed seven free throws (74.1%). Minnesota is on a 2-5 ATS run at home and 1-5 ATS as double-digit chalk. Play Connecticut.
