Chicago at Minnesota
Friday (July 17, 2015)
under 159
Chicago plays their first road game since July 2. They have 5 overs and one under at home but 4-4 on the road with recent road scores of 151, 157 and 160. These two played a high scoring 90-83 (173) game in Chicago. The Chicago Sky are led by Elena Delle Donne and Cappie Pondexter.. Their games have averaged 165 points this season while Minnesota's are at 146 ppg.
Minnesota did play an earlier home game with Tulsa that reached 164 points but recent home games saw just 115, 139 and 127 (vs. Phoenix). The Lynx have played 9 unders in their last 12 home games. These two played a 74-64 (138) at Minnesota last year. Cappie was with New York last year. Both Cappie and Delle Donne scored 24 in the first meeting so I expect Minnesota to focus on defense against them in a possible finals preview.
Minnesota is a good defensive team that has four main scorers and the next highest is in the 6 ppg range. I expect the home team to slow it down some and we get a game in the low 150's that stays under.
