The Lynx are an early-success story in the WNBA tied for first in the Western Conference with a 3-1 record. They are much-improved from last year's 19-21 team. 

But the schedule-maker didn't do Minnesota any favors with this matchup. 

Not only are the Lynx in a huge letdown spot after upsetting the Liberty, 84-67, as a 6 1/2-point home 'dog on Saturday, but they are in action for the third time in four days and second in two days. It's the third straight different venue, too, for Minnesota. 

The Dream, on the other hand, hasn't played since Tuesday when they defeated the Wings by five points at home. Atlanta is mediocre, but has a bunch of good scorers. The Dream rank fourth in the league in scoring and first in 3-point accuracy. 

Given Atlanta's scoring prowess and the bad situational spot the Lynx are in, I see the Dream covering this number.
