Randy’s Pick

The Connecticut Sun are a team I’ve been high on all year, and them blowing the doors off at home shouldn’t surprise anybody. However, the Lynx have been able to scratch out some wins here and there lately, and they’ve had road covering success. The Lynx are fighting for their potential playoff lives, and this is a lot of points for an early game where there tends to be sluggish play. This could be somewhat competitive. Give me the Lynx and the points.
