1-0 in 2012 WNBA.
Connecticut at Minnesota
8pm eastern Saturday
pick: Minnesota -9.5
Minnesota just lost at San Antonio and Los Angeles on the road. They allowed 8/16 and 13/25 from the 3-point line. On Saturday, Minnesota returns home to face Connecticut. After the Lynx lost at Seattle, they returned home and beat NY by 32 points. Conn. is 10-4 but one road loss was to Indiana by 95-61. When these two met at Minnesota last year it ended 90-67.
Minnesota has a nice mix of players with a roster of Moore, Augustus, Brunson, Taj-McWilliams, Whalen, Harris and Wright. Connecticut is led by Lawson, Jones , Tina Charles and Montgomery.
At home, Minn has won by 16, 12, 32, 24, 4 (SA), 13, 8 (LA) and 22. They are 17-7 ATS in the last 24 at home. Conn is just 3-7-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
I am guessing that Minnesota plays well after back to back losses and wins/covers on Saturday night as Connecticut will play at Tulsa on Friday night and then travel to Minnesota. Hopefully, we get a blowout.
