Money Line
Minnesota (+205) is worth rolling the dice for a chance to double down.
The Lynx have won three straight games, and the Commissioner's Cup champions have already won one in Las Vegas this season. In fact, the visitors have won four straight in this series, including two games this season.
Preventing the spread
If you are a bit more conservative and don’t feel like backing LYNX +5.5 (-110) head-on, you could also try a bet with points.
The Lynx are 2-0-1 ATS in their last three games, while the Aces -5.5 (-110) are on a losing streak, 0-5 ATS in their last five games. Vegas is also 5-6 ATS in their last 11 home games.
Over/Under
In the first half of a home-and-home set, UNDER 166.5 (-112) is a strong bet.
The under is 7-2-1 in the Lynx's last 10 games and 13-5-2 in their last 20. The under is also 3-1-1 in Minnesota's last five away games.
The Aces have also posted lower point totals in five of their last six games and are just 6-5 in their last 11 home games.
