Minnesota at Connecticut

Premium Pick

Minnesota gets a chance at quick revenge following Tuesday's loss that snapped a eight-game win streak. It was an uncharacteristic performance by Minnesota, who shot just seven free throws and committed 17 turnovers, and it's unlikely to happen again vs. the same opponent. That was the Lynx' first loss since June 19 and they were 7-1 ATS during the streak. Minnesota had beaten the Sun five straight times before Tuesday, and the Lynx are 6-1 ATS the past seven meetings. The UNDER is 6-0 in the past six between these two, including two nights ago when the game stayed UNDER by 21.5 points. Connecticut is 35-16 UNDER its past 51 games vs. Western Conference teams, and 20-6 UNDER overall as a favorite. I have three plays on this game: Take the Minnesota Lynx ATS and on the moneyline, as well as the UNDER.
