Minnesota at Phoenix

These teams have played some racehorse basketball games over the last 10 meetings with the winner averaging over 100 points per game. Things have changed however, and the oddsmakers have made an adjustment, but not enough. Last year these teams were playing to totals close to 190, but this Phoenix team is a shell of the explosive offense they used to be with a pair of key scorers on the sidelines, Diana Turasi in particular. She was the fuel and the engine for the Mercury attack, and that run-and-gun game is on the shelf for now. The Mercury is now 8-2 to the UNDER when posted as a dog, and have played four straight UNDERs overall, as their offensive weapons sit and heal. The Lynx have missed their mark off of extended rest, playing four of their last five to the UNDER when playing with three day’s rest. Play the UNDER.
