San Antonio is playing its sixth game over the last eight games here. They excel in weekend/get-away day games with the Silver Stars 7-2 ATS in their last nine Sunday games. It will be a playoff-like atmosphere with the best team in the WNBA in town, Minnesota. The Silver Stars have been strong at home (11-5) and will try to go over the 20-win plateau for only the second time in franchise history. This is not a must-win game for Minnesota, ahead of everyone in the division. Minnesota is playing its third straight road game and the Lynx are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following an ATS win. It's also their sixth road game over the last seven games! Look for a huge effort by the home team to make a statement against the road weary visitors. Play San Antonio. In addition, a playoff-like atmosphere means intense defense from both sides. Minnesota is on a 5-2 run UNDER the total and the UNDER is 5-1 in the Lynx's last six road games. The under is also 4-1 in their last five games playing on one day's rest. Minnesota is second best in the WNBA in field goal shooting defense allowing just .405%, and tops in three-point shooting defense (.318%).  San Antonio is off a loss but is a strong team defensively when bouncing back, 23-8-1 UNDER the total in the Silver Stars last 32 games following a loss. And when these talented West rivals meet the UNDER is 5-2 in the last seven meetings in San Antonio. Play San Antonio and the UNDER in this one.
