Connecticut Sun vs. New York Liberty Prediction
I’m on the Sun and the points here. I get the case to be made for the Liberty being favored because they’re the better team and only team making the playoffs in the coming weeks. However, the Liberty have had a hard time covering spreads and even winning games as of late, and I think the Sun have been fairly competitive as of late and have done a decent job covering in the underdog role. Give me the points with the Sun here.
