Minnesota Lynx vs Connecticut Sun Prediction

I’ve been on the Connecticut Sun a lot this season because they’re just solid across the board and play hard. The problem is the Sun are 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog. The Minnesota Lynx have played their best ball at home this season, and the offense has been scary good at times. If those shots are falling at a solid clip again, the Sun just can’t keep up. Give me another point or two and I’d jump on the Sun. At home, I have to lean toward the Lynx and the reasonable line.
