San Antonio at Minnesota

Minnesota comes off that showdown game at Connecticut and comes home after a two-game road trip. They face a good San Antonio squad, one that is 3-1 ATS and 2-2 overall, losing at Connecticut by just 4 points as a +7 dog. The Silver Stars are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games, 6-1 ATS in their last seven against the Western Conference and 5-1 ATS in their last six road games. This is the third game in six days for Minnesota, and the last two were on the road. It was an emotional game on Friday, winning at Connecticut. With the victory, the Lynx are 6-0 for the first time in franchise history. It was also their first win in Connecticut since 2004. All of which makes this a great spot for the dog. Play San Antonio. In addition, there will be more defense than the oddsmakers expect. San Antonio Coach Dan Hughes earned his 100th victory as Silver Stars coach with Friday's 85-66 home win over Phoenix. He knows the value of tough defense against good teams, riding a 2-0 run UNDER the total. The UNDER is 16-5 in the Silver Stars’ last 21 games when playing on one day of rest and on a 23-10-1 run overall UNDER the total going back to last season. Minnesota usually turns to its great defense playing on one day of rest as the UNDER is 4-1 in the Lynx's last five games when playing on one day's rest. Play on the Silver Stars and take the UNDER.
