Tulsa at Minnesota

Premium Pick

The Minnesota Lynx have dropped three straight games, but I don't think anyone is worried about it. This team has no way to improve upon their #2 seed in the West. The Lynx utilized the bench and rested starters in their last game - a 16 point blowout loss at San Antonio, but the bench got 98 minutes, or almost half of all available minutes. I would expect something similar here vs. Tulsa. Tulsa is out of the playoffs, but their 12 wins are the most this team has garnered since moving here from Detroit, and a win would be a big building block toward's their 2015 season. The Shock have responded well when playing on no rest where they are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five. The Lynx have shown little desire to play at their top level with nothing at stake. Grab the points on Tulsa.
