On the other side of this matchup is the Connecticut Sun who just knocked off the Sun and will try to make that happen again. In the last game the offense was strong putting up 85 points and that was enough to lead to a blowout victory. On the season the Sun are averaging 79.9 points while the defense is giving up 78.8 points per game. The Sun are a decent shooting team, but their three-point shooting could improve. The Sun’s best player this season has been DeWanna Bonner who is averaging 19.3 points while shooting 41.8 percent from the field. If the Sun can get out to a fast start they should be in good shape.

The Sun just beat the Mercury, but that isn’t going to be the case in this game. Look for Taurasi to have a big game, and the Mercury won’t be able to stop her. Look for the Mercury to win this game and they will also cover the spread.
