Minnesota at New York

The Minnesota Lynx have been the top team in the WNBA since 2011, where they have put together a record of 190-62. The next best team over the period is 34 games worse than that, so clearly the Lynx are an ultra-elite team. They are 78-44 on the road, and to put that in perspective, no other WNBA team has a winning road record. Those numbers make them look like a cinch to come away with the money tonight - not so fast. The Lynx are 5-10 SU and 4-11 ATS on the road as a favorite of -5 or fewer vs. the East. Moreover, those numbers slip to 2-8 SU, and 1-9 ATS as a road favorite of -5 or fewer, and a total of less than 160. The takeaway is that against a team that can defend some, they are a poor choice in one of few cases that is in play against this otherwise dominant team. Take the points and play on New York.
