Washington @ Minnesota picks

The Lynx are a perfect 8-0 at home this season, with a point differential of +11.2. The high point spread shouldn’t be a deterrent here: Minnesota is 5-0 against the spread in its last five as a favorite of 11.5 points or greater.

There’s a strong case for the Over here. Let’s start with Brittney Sykes’ season averages of 4.0 RPG and 4.8 APG, which make this 7.5 line slightly surprising. She continues to do a little of everything for the Washington Mystics while keeping the team in the playoff hunt at 8-9. She’s nailed this Over in eight of her past 12 contests, and her playmaking has been particularly reliable with 5+ dimes in five of her last seven games.
