Minnesota at Connecticut

Connecticut just went into Minneapolis and beat this Minnesota team outright, and the rematch comes to Mohegan Sun with the number dropping accordingly. Brittney Griner set a season high with 29 points and 10 rebounds in Monday's win, and Kennedy Burke came off the bench to hit back-breaking threes down the stretch, the kind of complementary scoring the Sun have lacked for stretches of this rebuild. Minnesota still doesn't have Napheesa Collier, who has yet to make her season debut after ankle surgery and is on track to save that moment for the Lynx's upcoming homestand rather than a business trip to Connecticut. That means Minnesota is once again leaning on Kayla McBride and Courtney Williams to create everything, the same formula the Sun just solved on the road. Minnesota's talent gap is real over a full season, but this is the back end of a home-and-home against a team that just delivered the upset, on the road, without its best player. The number reflects a market still catching up to what actually happened Monday night. Back the Sun with the points tonight.
