00:00Game number one, the Minnesota Lynx. Why is that important?
00:02They're 5-2, up at the top of the standings in the WNBA, taking on the Chicago sky.
00:08We take a look at the opening lines in this one, Joe.
00:10Minus 3.5s were across the board for the Lynx, but you see the graphic this morning.
00:13We're now seeing minus 4.5s, even some outlets moving to minus 5.
00:17And a total listed at 171.5.
00:20Lynx and the sky, Joe.
00:22Give me a spread line tonight for this action.
00:24Now the third time these teams will have met in the last 13 days here in Chicago.
00:32So Chicago, I believe, won the first meeting 86-79 last week in Minneapolis.
00:37The Lynx won the most recent meeting 85-75.
00:42That was last Saturday in Chicago.
00:45So what exactly are we doing here?
00:49Apparently, they're going to know each other very, very well.
00:51And that usually leads, Donnie, a lot of familiarity.
00:55Means maybe scoring is going to be a little bit more difficult here since these teams know each other now
01:01so well.
01:0286-79 in game one, 85-75 in game two.
01:06I would expect that to be right around the same score here, Donnie.
01:11I do like Minnesota.
01:12They're the hotter team here.
01:14But I think maybe this number, from a total perspective, might be a little bit too high here tonight.
01:20I'd be looking towards an under as well.
01:22Three straight wins for one team.
01:24That's the Lynx.
01:24Three straight losses for the Chicago Sky.
01:26Game number two we'll talk about also at 730 from Brooklyn.
01:29It is the Phoenix Mercury taking on the New York Liberty.
01:32Look at the Liberty there.
01:33Favored by six and a half points.
01:34A total of 169 and a half.
01:36The Liberty right now, four and four on the season.
01:39Looking to get a jump-started.
01:40The Phoenix Mercury almost in the basement if it wasn't for the Connecticut Sun.
01:44They sit at two and six on the season.
01:47Favored by about a touchdown tonight, Joe, for the Liberty.
01:49What's the spread line here for you?
01:51Well, now what?
01:52The second game in three days between these two teams.
01:56We just saw this, right?
01:57Liberty handled business rather easily.
02:00Now the Mercury are on a four-game losing streak, right?
02:0484-74 was that loss to the Liberty on Wednesday.
02:08And I don't know how we're going to get anything different here.
02:11The Liberty started a little slow.
02:13They, too.
02:14Remember we told you, Donnie, in this game a couple days ago that the Liberty were on a home losing
02:19streak, something they had not had in a very, very long time.
02:23Well, they snapped it in that game, and they are likely going to handle business against a very young Phoenix
02:29Mercury team right now.
02:31I think the Liberty handled it and handled it rather easily.
