Minnesota vs Connecticut Picks & Props

Brittney Griner had her best game of the season on Monday, going off for 29 points and 10 rebounds against the Minnesota Lynx. If her playing time stays at 30+ minutes per game, we’re going to see a lot more performances like these. I’m taking Griner to get Over 5.5 rebounds tonight, and also like alternate lines up to 7.5 boards.
The Minnesota Lynx are second in the WNBA in scoring (90.2 ppg) while the Connecticut Sun have a defensive rating of 107.6, fourth-worst in the league. The Sun offense has come to life, averaging 86.0 ppg over their last eight contests. With both teams in the top half of the league in pace and coming off a game with a total of 179, I’m taking the Over at 169.5 or less.
With leading scorer Olivia Miles likey out due to a calf injury, Natasha Howard should be able to pick up the offensive slack. She's scored at least 17 points in eight of her last 11 games, and has gone for at least 18 points in three straight games vs the Sun.
The gap between these two teams is too big for me to overreact to one good result for the Connecticut Sun. Books have cut the line significantly for Wednesday’s game, and I see the Minnesota Lynx as the smart play for spread bettors. One player who continued to find success for Minnesota on Monday was Kayla McBride. She scored 28 points and hit four threes in the game, the fourth straight contest in which she hit at least four shots from deep. Connecticut lets opponents shoot 35.2% from beyond the arc, and with the Lynx missing some of their other offensive options, I love McBride to fire away again and hit Over 2.5 threes tonight.
