Connecticut appears to be struggling, but can easily find a get-right spot against a team like Dallas that plays into its hands. Find out why our Sun vs. Wings picks see a comfortable win for the favorites on the road.
Our side and total predictions are based upon our analysis of the line and total in this game. Our best bet is our favorite pick across all markets.Connecticut comes in the loser of three of its last five games, which on the face of things might make this ripe for an upset pick. Not so fast. The only sub-.500 team to beat the Sun in the entire month of June were the New York Liberty, who just caught fire from outside. In that same period, the Sun boast wins over the Aces, Storm, and Mystics.
In any kind of conflict, self-knowledge is the first key to victory. The Sun know exactly who they are and how they need to play to win. They beat teams by winning the possession game, playing cohesive team defense, and by putting pressure on the rim offensively. There are few teams in the WNBA capable of stopping the three-headed monster of Alyssa Thomas, Jonquel Jones, and DeWanna Bonner. Fewer still could add 2021 All-Star Courtney Williams and slot her in as clearly their fourth-best player.
The Wings, by contrast, are a team still searching for an identity. While they don’t have glaring holes, they’re below average in nearly every area. Arike Ogunbowale is one of the highest volume 3-point shooters in the W at 8.2 attempts per game, but as a team, they're not quite as devoted to 3-point shooting as the Liberty or even the newly-converted Aces.
