Last place Connecticut has a losing record at home while powerhouse Minnesota is 10-2 on the road. Connecticut is #10 in the league in points allowed and ninth in assists. The Sun will certainly have Minnesota's full attention, thanks to Connecticut's 93-89 home overtime win over the Lynx on July 7. Minnesota is loaded with star power and talent, third in the WNBA in points and rebounds, and second in assists and points allowed. Four Minnesota players -- Lindsay Whalen, Seimone Augustus, Maya Moore and Sylvia Fowles -- and coach Cheryl Reeve were part of the United States' gold-medal-winning team in Rio. That means that while most of the league's teams have been idle for a month, a third of the Lynx roster is in game shape. The Lynx are 9-3-1 ATS when following a spread loss and will roll out of the second half gate tonight. Take Minnesota.
