Minnesota took it on the chin the last game, losing at home to Los Angeles, breaking its 13-0 run to start the year. It was a tough loss in front of the home fans, and now the Lynx head out on the road for their fifth time in the last seven contests, as well as their ninth road game over the last 14. The Lynx allowed 56 points in the second half to the Sparks and committed 18 turnovers. Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve said, "We had a bit of a hangover." Hangovers can carry over in all sports and now they head out on the road as a favorite against a Washington team playing well, winning five of seven. Washington has a fine backcourt behind Tayler Hill (15.7 points per game) and Natasha Cloud, who nailed five of seven threes the last game (18 points). Washington matches up well and will keep this close against the road weary Lynx who might still be thinking about the last game. Play Washington on the moneyline.
