You need frontcourt muscle if you're going to hang with Minnesota and the Atlanta Dream have it with Angel McCoughtry (19.2 points per game, 5.7 rebounds per game) and Layshia Clarendon (4.4 rpg), second in the WNBA in rebounding. The Dream are still playing for playoff positioning, looking to remain as the five-seed and host their first-round playoff contest. Atlanta is 18-7-1 ATS when playing on one day of rest and face a Minnesota team that has locked-up the top seed, plus played last night. This is a game to use the bench and rest starters. Last season, the Lynx had a meaningless finale and Minnesota scored just 64 points in a loss, resting three starters as they had already sewn up the top seed. The Lynx shot 38.3% and failed to hit 20 points in any quarter in that game. Take the points on Atlanta.
