Spread: New York Liberty +5.5
Total: +159
In this all-Eastern showdown between two teams on opposite trajectories, the third-worse New York Liberty (8-12), who have won only once in their last 6 games and want to bounce back, are hosting the team with the best record currently in the WNBA, the Connecticut Sun (15-6), who on the other hand are looking to extend their current lengthy winning streak.
New York Liberty have an 8-12 record (9-10-1 ATS) so far this season and currently sit in the fourth place of the Eastern Conference. They have lost five of their last six matches and in their last game they lost on the road against Dallas with a 64-87 score, not beating the odds. They are led in scoring by Tina Charles with 16.7 ppg, adding a team high 7.5 boards per game. She is followed by Kia Nurse with 15.3 ppg.
