Minnesota at Tulsa

This is the third straight home game for Tulsa, a team hungry for a win and riding a tough skid. This team is third in the WNBA in scoring and second in rebounding. Tulsa is 6-3 at home and off a tough loss last night, blowing a 12-point lead in the third quarter. Odyssey Sims scored 16 points and Plenette Pierson added 14 for the Shock. Tulsa also plays its best defense at home on a 4-0 run UNDER the total at home, plus 13-3 UNDER against the Western Conference. Both teams had to play last night and this is the start of a three-game trip for Minnesota. They have not been on the road since July 19 following a three-game homestand. The Lynx are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning record. Minnesota can play great defense, too, tops in the WNBA in points allowed. Minnesota is 7-2 UNDER the total when playing on no days rest, and when these teams clash the UNDER is 4-1 in the last five meetings. Look for a defensive game and a big effort by the home team that is capable of winning straight-up. Take Tulsa on the moneyline and play the UNDER.
