The set-up: I think the hungry visiting side (just 1-16 on the year after falling 87-83 to Atlanta on Sunday) offers great value to come in under the radar to post a solid cover in this spot.

The teams: Minnesota comes in complacent as well after seven straight victories. Indiana will look to take advantage and push the pace of this one. Note that Fever rookie forward Victoria Vivians posted a career high 27 points in Indiana's latest setback:

"The best thing we can do is stick together," Vivians said after the loss to Atlanta. "We depend on each other for everything. I feel like the best thing we can do is put our heads all in together and just be together through the whole process."

The pick: The defending champs are on "cruise control" now with seven straight victories. Minnesota most recently held for a 76-72 win over Dallas, led by 26 points from Maya Moore. But with the LA Sparks, the Lynx' most fiercest rival coming to town on Thursday, there's no question that this one sets up as a "look ahead" spot as well for the home side. While I'm not predicting the straight up upset, the stage is definitely set for a competitive battle. So grab the points! Play on the Fever.
