Seattle at Minnesota

Mighty Minnesota is overvalued by oddsmakers, but are 1-3-1 ATS after a victory and 1-4 ATS following a spread cover. Minnesota begins a three-game road trip after this contest and faces a new-look Seattle squad with a new coach and are playing well. Seattle is playing exceptional defense, allowing 64.5 points per game (tops in the WNBA), and are sixth in rebounds. Seattle made 9 of 20 three-pointers in the opener, a 86-61 rout of Los Angeles, and is in bounce-back mode after a loss at Tulsa where the offense was out of sync. In the opener the Storm finished with a 40-16 edge in bench points. Minnesota is 1-4-1 ATS against the Western Conference and the Lynx are 1-8 ATS when playing on three or more days of rest. These clubs split four meetings last year and this one shapes up as a close one, so jump on the big dog and play Seattle.
