Premium Pick

Minnesota (12-3 ATS in conference finals) is in command of the series, winning 101-81 and 93-83 the first two games. This team is a juggernaut with a healthy Lindsay Whalen running the offense. WNBA MVP Sylvia Fowles had 25 points and four blocks in a Game 2 win, while Rebekkah Brunson had a double-double. The Lynx are 25-8-1 ATS following a spread loss and head to Washington for Game 3. Minnesota has a dominant defense, allowing 41% shooting the last game with six blocks. In four of their last five road games they've allowed 62, 70, 69, and 72 points (5-1 run UNDER the total away). Washington is not used to playing in the postseason and doesn't match up with the better Western Conference. They are on a 7-15 ATS run versus the West. They are also 2-13 as a dog and 4-12 ATS against any team with a winning mark. The Mystics are also 8-3 UNDER after a spread cover, while Minnesota is 116-79 UNDER the total against winning teams. Play Minnesota and UNDER the total.
