Minnesota Lynx vs. Chicago Sky Prediction

I’m on the Lynx here. I get the case to be made for the Sky at home, but the Sky haven’t been able to do anything to get out of their own way at home this season as they’re 0-3 SU and ATS this season. I think Minnesota gets the win and cover on the road here so give me Minnesota.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Minnesota -4.5
