Projected Line: Minnesota by 13 points
Minnesota has lost four of their last five games and this has forced their coach Cheryl Reeve to hold a meeting with the team's captains after their last loss against Atlanta on Monday. Minnesota made a comeback against the Dream, but as their starters always play heavy minutes, they didn't have fresh legs down the stretch. The key for the Lynx's loss at Atlanta was the 19 turnovers that they committed, something that resulted in 25 points off turnovers and 24 fast break points to the Dream.
For tonight, the Lynx will be fired up and they'll crush the lowly Sun. Connecticut lost all their confidence after not being able to beat Chicago, even though they had a 23 points lead at one point. Their key guard Allison Hightower is out for the season, while Kara Lawson is also out due to personal problems. So, Connecticut will only have Tina Charles against the world for tonight's game, but Minnesota is a top paint defense and also an excellent defensive rebounding team. Minnesota's defense will focus on Charles and with that, the Sun's offense will heavily struggle. Therefore, I expect an easy win for Minnesota and so, I'll be taking them in here.
