Randy’s Pick
The Connecticut Sun are easily the better team at both ends of the floor, they finish games and they cover numbers. The Minnesota Lynx continue to be a mess on the defensive side of the floor, and 3 of their 4 wins have come against the Sparks, which isn’t saying a lot right now. The line is more than reasonable. Give me the Sun.
