Minnesota at Connecticut

Mighty Minnesota heads out on the road where they are not as strong, and the Lynx are 1-4 ATS against a team with a winning record. Minnesota is opening a challenging four-game stretch that includes a matchup with Chicago on Friday and a visit to Tulsa two days later. Minnesota's offense is best at home and the UNDER is 4-1 when the Lynx face the Eastern Conference. Minnesota has the stingiest defense in the WNBA, allowing 68.1 points per game. They face a very good Connecticut squad that has great balance, #5 in the WNBA in points scored and allowed. First-place Connecticut is on an 11-3 spread run and hungry for a win riding a three-game skid. The Sun is 5-1 ATS against the Western Conference and 4-1 ATS following a loss. Connecticut is also 7-2 ATS at home and 20-6 ATS playing on one day of rest. Connecticut can play defense, too at 5-2 UNDER following a loss, as well as 8-3-1 UNDER the total at home, so grab the home dog in a defensive battle. Take Connecticut and the game total UNDER.
