Tulsa may be on a four-game skid, but they are playing hard, losing two of those games by a basket and another was to this Minnesota squad by 6 points as a dog. They've played Minnesota twice this season and lost by 1 and 6 points. Tulsa has an up-tempo, attacking offense that can hang with anybody, #4 in the WNBA in points (82 points per game). The Shock is 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning record. Minnesota is on a 5-8 ATS run and the Lynx are 2-7 ATS following a victory. Minnesota is not healthy with All-Star Seimone Augustus (17.2 points per game) set to miss her seventh straight game with knee pain, and forward Rebekkah Brunson (knee) is still out. Minnesota has bigger games on deck against Atlanta and San Antonio and Tulsa is 4-1 ATS here in Minnesota. Tulsa's offense matches up well and has hung with the Lynx all season, so the value is with the big dog to steal a straight-up win. Take Tulsa on the moneyline.
