Minnesota at Dallas

The Minnesota Lynx are just 16-17 on the season, but despite that in the top-heavy WNBA, they would be a #6 seed if the playoffs started today. The Dallas Wings are 18-15 and would be the #4 seed. These teams tend to get into fast-paced offensive games as 20 of the last 33 meetings have played OVER the total, including five of the past six meetings (170+ points scored). Minnesota has played eight of their last 11 OVER, and Dallas is 11-2 OVER in its last 13 games. Both these teams like the uptempo style, and this one looks to get well into the 170s. When teams try to make a statement they tend to play quicker and try to get an early advantage against their opponent, especially when they think they are better than or equal caliber. A game played late in the season (July-August), with a first-half total set at 65.5 or fewer points played OVER to a record of 171-94. Bet the first-half OVER, and play the full game total OVER.
