Randy’s Pick

The Minnesota Lynx still aren’t playing a lick of defense, and they’re not covering numbers. The Lynx have allowed 90-plus points in 3 straight games. The Connecticut Sun have put money in bettors pockets dating back to last season, and their offense that’s starting to get hot should have a field day in this spot. The Lynx have some showing and proving to do. I’ll lay the buckets with the Sun on the road.
