Chicago at Minnesota

The Sky will be entering their fourth year in the WNBA, and after finishing in the basement the first two years, they finally finished out of the cellar in '08. The problem wasn't due to progress the Sky actually lost more games a year ago at 22, than they did in '07 when they lost just 20. The Lynx should be a much-improved team, as they will have Renee Montgomery on the floor to compliment a running game that already features top players Simeone Augustus, and Candice Wiggins. The Lynx finished second to the run-and-gun Phoenix team in points scored, and one can only imagine that with a backcourt of Montgomery and Wiggins and their speed, this team will improve upon the 80+ points a game they averaged a year ago. I like Minnesota here, and expecting them to turn it up from their 81 a game last year, I am also going with the OVER.
