The Connecticut Sun will visit the New York Liberty on a back-to-back. Connecticut is just coming off a close win against the Chicago Sky by 2 points last night. The last time these 2 teams played was in mid-July and the Liberty won by 8 points.

New York comes into this game on an 8-game winning streak. They are currently the best team in the league with a 25-4 record. The Liberty are 14-1 at home and are 9-1 in their last 10 games. These ladies are red hot right now and will look to take out a rival.

It has been a great season for the Liberty, ranking in the top 3 of the league for points, 3-point field goals, assists and rebounds per game. This team also has the best offensive rating in the league. When you have players like Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu, it’s not a big surprise.

These ladies have been showing out and both are coming off winning Olympic gold. Players Courtney Vandersloot and Betnijah Laney-Hamilton have battled injuries all year, so the team has had to make adjustments. The Liberty also play a strong defense, ranking 2nd in the league for defensive rating.

Will the Sun be rested enough to take on the best in the league?

Connecticut Sun forward Alyssa Thomas has a few words with the referee.

Connecticut is having a good season with a 20-7 record, sitting in the 2nd spot of the Eastern Conference. They are a good road team, with a 9-4 record on the season and are also 6-4 in their last 10 games.

The Sun come into this game on a 2-game winning streak after just pulling one out against the Sky. Since coming back from the Olympic break, the Sun are 3-1. The other 2 wins were against the Wings and the Sparks, so easier opponents.

Alyssa Thomas, Brionna Jones and DeWanna Bonner lead this team offensively. They rank towards the bottom of the league for points, 3-point shooting, rebounds and assists per game. They have the worst pace in the league.

Defense is their strong point. They rank 2nd in defensive rating, 3rd in steals and 2nd in turnovers committed. Connecticut protects the ball well and can get the ball back when they try.

Let’s check out the odds and get into the picks.

With Connecticut coming off a back-to-back, I really like this spot for the Liberty. The 7.5-point spread isn’t really too bad either because I was thinking to was going to be more like 9.5

This Liberty team is on fire and unstoppable right now. They play extremely well at home and will be playing a little bit of a tired Sun team. New York has already shown that they can take of the Sun already this season, so tired just helps their case.

Expect Sabrina Ionescu to get her points, which is set at 20.5 with a value of -113. She has hit this line in her last 3 games vs Connecticut and also in 7 out of her last 10 games. Sabrina has been shooting the ball well and we all know she is dangerous from 3-point range. Her 3+ 3-pointers is very juiced at -172, but it has hit in her last 5 games.

I like for Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones to try to control down low against Alyssa Thomas and Brionna Jones. They will need to slow both players down to help keep a lead in this game, but I think they can.

Give me the Liberty to cover the spread and Sabrina to get her points.
