Minnesota at Washington

Winless Minnesota heads out on the road ranked eighth in the 12-team WNBA in scoring. Washington is a defensive-oriented team first, with the third-worst offense (76.2 ppg) but the third-best defense (75 ppg allowed). The Mystics are also second-worst in field goal shooting (39.2%) and 3-point shooting (28.6%). They're on a 27-16 run UNDER the total, 54-34 UNDER at home versus teams that allow 44% shooting or higher, plus 15-6 UNDER at home against defenses that surrender 77+ points per contest. With the UNDER 4-0 in the last four meetings between these teams, look for more defense than offense. Take Minnesota/Washington UNDER the total.
