The over is 4-0 in Liberty last 4 overall. The under is 7-3 in Sun last 10 overall. The under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Connecticut and 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.
The New York Liberty are still finding ways to cover numbers, but they've been awful overall these last couple of weeks, and their defense has gotten rocked in these last few games against Las Vegas. The Connecticut Sun continues to be hit or miss, but I'll continue to mention they're one of the more talented teams in the league and a run sooner than later isn't out of the question. Early start, which scares me, but the Sun have the ability to open this thing up given the Liberty's current form. I'll lay the chalk with the home team.
