Connecticut @ Minnesota picks

Alanna Smith has played a bigger role in the Minnesota Lynx offense with veteran Kayla McBridge away from the team.She’s been especially active from outside, firing up seven 3-point attempts in the first two games, knocking down three and four triples in those outings. Smith is fighting through a nagging quads injury but played in the win over Dallas on Wednesday and is expected to suit up tonight against the Connecticut Sun at home. Player projections for Smith sit as high as 1.65 which seems tempered considering her increased touches and attempts from deep, as well as the quality of opponent tonight. Some books have the Over 1.5 made 3-pointers as high as -118 but you can get +115 at bet365. I have much higher ceiling for Smith versus Connecticut and I’m also sprinkling on her 3+ 3-Pointers at a market high of +375.
