Washington at Minnesota

Washington goes for its third win in a row in the first game of the semifinals against Minnesota. The Mystics defeated New York 82-68 on Sunday with Kristi Toliver scoring a team-leading 32 points and Elena Delle Donne adding 18 points and 10 rebounds. The Mystics won despite shooting only 39.5 percent due to a 14-3 edge on the offensive boards. The Lynx has had a nine day layoff since it defeated the Mystics on September 3. Maya Moore scored 26 points in that game and Renee Montgomery added 18 points for Minnesota. The Lynx are just 2-7-1 ATS after an ATS win and the Mystics have covered seven of their last eight Tuesday games. Look for Washington to keep this one close against a rusty Lynx squad. Play the Mystics.
