The Lynx are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite, 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 1 days rest and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The over is 5-1 in Dream last 6 overall. The over is 4-0 in Lynx last 4 overall. The Dream are 4-12 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Minnesota.
The Atlanta Dream aren’t winning and aren’t covering, and they have one of the worst defenses in the league. The Minnesota Lynx continue to play at a high level and have been one of the more profitable teams in the league with covers in eight of their last 10 games. Lot of chalk here, but I’ll lay it anyway with the Lynx.
