Atlanta at Minnesota

Premium Pick

The Minnesota Lynx have arguably the best team in the WNBA. However, sometimes after winning a couple of championships, the regular season is greeted with complacency. That has been the case for Minnesota who opened the season at 7-0 but have since suffered six losses. Atlanta has established themselves as the best team in the East by far, and owns a win over Minnesota this season at home. The Dream is in a favorable spot, with no strong competition in the East, going on the road and winning in Minnesota would legitimize this team as a bonafide threat to win the WNBA title, as the path appears clear to get out of the East and into the Finals. The Lynx have failed to cover their last five games vs. a winning team, and I think the Dream have the mental mindset edge here, and at 15-6 they can play. Play Atlanta on the moneyline.
