WNBA - Sacramento Monarchs v Minnesota Lynx

8 September 2008

Preview By Tipster Ianus

Seems a high total to beet when Sacramento is playing but Minnesota's game style more than makes up for that. Minnesota doesn't have the ability to be competitive in away games if the game is played in low scores. This is one of the last chances for MIN (14-16) to catch SAC (16-14) and keep their playoff hopes alive. There are not many games left and Houston and Phoenix are also in the hunt with a 14-16 record. Yesterday MIN lost at SEA 96:88. They were leading at HT 46:35 but lost 88:96. That shows that they have a chance at winning at top defensive teams only if they stick to their game play and fast execution. While they were doing that they were leading but in the second half they stoped doing that. Tonight they are playing a back to back game and I doubt that they can play a good defense (not that they know how to) with tired legs. Sacramento is a team with a well structured offense where the players know their assignments. I don't expect the score to be as high as in the last 2 MIN matches but it should go over the set line.
