The Minnesota Lynx take on the Chicago Sky in a contest I have pegged for being a high scoring affair that easily eclipses the number.
The Chicago Sky play their best basketball at home, where they have garnered a 8-2 record , and will be well prepared to run the floor tonight against a up-tempo take no prisoners style of basketball the Minnesota Lynx implement. The Lynx have averaged 83.4 PPG on offense in road games this season, while allowing 83.2 PPG. Needless to say a majority of their tilts have been run and gun affairs and I expect nothing to change in this spot. It must be noted that the Sky defense has allowed opponents an average of 78.8 PPG this season , so they are obviously susceptible to break downs, especially when under pressure.
Minnesota is 8-0 OVER in a road game where where the total is greater than or equal to 150 this season, with the average combined score of those tilts ringing in at 171.4 PPG. Minnesota is 11-2 OVER after playing a home game this season, which just happened, with the average combined score of those games, at 169.1 PPG.

Play OVER
