Connecticut at Minnesota

Connecticut is favored, but this is its fourth road game in five contests. They come off a home win over Washington, 86-81, but failed to cover. The defense has allowed 90 and 81 points the last two games, and the team is 3-14 ATS after having won four of five games. They're also one of the worst free-throw shooting teams in the league (73.1%), missing nine in the last game. Minnesota is 56-36 ATS at home after two or more straight losses, plus 8-1 ATS at home versus teams who average 42+ rebounds per game. Minnesota has covered five straight against Connecticut, so back the home dog. Play Minnesota.
