Connecticut at New York: Connecticut is favored by 2.5 and the total on this one is 163.5. I have the game 83-83 and my totals numbers are calling for 163 to 165.5 points to be scored, giving us opinions on both sides of the over/under. Big game here for the Liberty, who can pull even with the Sun in the loss department, as Connecticut leads the East with a 12-8 record, while New York is 9-9. The Sun are 10-2 ATS away from home and this will be their 13th road game compared to just eight home games, which sets them up nicely for the second half. The Sun won the first two meetings between the two.
Atlanta at Washington: The Dream played yesterday and defeated San Antonio at home. While back-to-backs don’t happen all that often, teams in Atlanta’s situation (road dog after win as home favorite and no rest) are 8-7 ATS since 2011, so it’s not a crippling factor. The Mystics are going to be short-handed again, with Hill missing the game and EDD listed as doubtful. Washington would be wise to sit Della Donne and let her get back to full strength during the break. The Mystics are favored by 3 and the total is 154, while I have Washington 85-76, although the injuries aren’t factored in.
Dallas at Minnesota: The Lynx have struggled a little bit as a home favorite, going 2-6-1 and it could be more of the same here heading to the break. They have defeated Dallas twice this season, although one of them was an 89-87 win in Dallas. The Wings are just 2-5 off an ATS win and have played better after a loss. Minnesota is favored by 14.5 and the total is 170.5, while my numbers say 91-78. All three totals numbers say this one sneaks under the total and I’ll side with the numbers and take the under for today’s play.
Indiana at Phoenix: The Mercury will be without Griner once again, which is one reason the line is just Phoenix -6.5 with a total of 156. My numbers have it 82-74 and the total methods like the under, although Griner is a defensive force in the middle. The Fever have been a poor road underdog and are struggling offensively, having broken 70 points just once in their last four games.
