Connecticut Sun at Minnesota Lynx
Leg 1: Minnesota Lynx Moneyline (-154) Leg 2: Under 152.5 Total Points (-112) Leg 3: Napheesa Collier Over 19.5 Points (-122)
The Sun (15-4) and Lynx (14-5) face off in a marquee battle at Target Center in Minneapolis on Thursday night. This is a rematch of a thrilling contest at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. on May 23, which saw Connecticut eke out an 83-82 overtime win, although Minnesota covered as a 5.5-point underdog. The Over (162) hit as the game went into overtime.
Minnesota shot 48.5% (33-of-68) from the field in that overtime loss, but struggled from the 3-point line (4-of-21) and free throw line (12-of-20). Despite being outrebounded, the Lynx were more efficient in several categories, but Connecticut’s success from the free-throw line ultimately made the difference.
Napheesa Collier posted 31 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, four steals, and two blocks in 44 minutes in the first meeting, leading the Lynx in scoring. For Connecticut, three starters scored 18 or more points, with DeWanna Bonner leading the way with 20 points.
The Lynx have struggled since winning the Commissioner's Cup, going 1-2 straight up and against the spread in their past three games, all on the road. However, they have won seven straight at home, going 5-2 ATS in that span. The Under has hit in four of their past six home games. Connecticut has lost three of their last five games, but won their last game at home.
It's a good idea to back the Lynx on the moneyline and bet the Under, considering the strong defenses of both teams. Collier is a good bet to score over 19.5 points given her previous performance against Connecticut.

Washington Mystics at Las Vegas Aces
Leg 1: Washington Mystics +16 (-112) Leg 2: Under 170.5 Total Points (-110) Leg 3: A'ja Wilson Under 26.5 Points (-108)
In the second game, the Mystics (5-15) will take on the Aces (11-6) at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. The Aces won the previous meeting between these teams, but the Mystics managed to cover the spread as underdogs. The game also went Under.
Washington shot well in the first meeting despite missing some key players. The Aces also had a strong offensive showing, led by Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray. A'ja Wilson struggled offensively in that game, and the Mystics will look to contain her again.
Both teams have had mixed results in terms of totals in their recent games. Washington getting +16 points and the Under seem like solid plays, especially given Wilson's recent performances.
