Connecticut Sun vs New York Liberty Prediction: Sun to Win
Connecticut Sun vs New York Liberty Prediction: The Connecticut Sun will start as favorites to win their upcoming game against the New York Liberty as per the latest odds.
The teams at the bottom half of the table have very less margin of error in the upcoming games to look strong in the playoff contention. The New York Liberty will face a formidable challenge against the Connecticut Sun at the Mohegan Sun Arena tonight. Connecticut has played a top brand of basketball this season. However, they are coming off a defeat against the Mystics in the last game.
The Sun can blame only themselves as their shooting looked below par in that game and the field goal % dipped to 36.7%. Jonquel Jones was the only player who could score in double digits (15 points). She also added 16 rebounds to her name. The Sun will look to bounce back firmly in the next home fixture against the Liberty.
The New York Liberty needs a consistent performance in the upcoming games to improve their position in the Eastern Conference. They looked very good against the Mystics but lost the last fixture against the Storm. Marine Johannes was the top scorer in that game with 23 points. Sabrina Ionescu scored 12 points with 10 assists.
It was the comeback game of DiDi Richards as well who was in action after a long break due to a hamstring injury. She added 4 rebounds in 13 minutes. The Liberty has a mammoth task to avoid another loss when they meet the Sun tonight.
