Connecticut is the powerhouse team in the East, tops with a 19-6 record and a sizzling 10-2 straight-up on the road. They've had two full days off after an impressive 84-73 victory at San Antonio and the Sun is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games playing on two day’s rest. Connecticut, which holds the league's best road record at 10-2, snapped San Antonio's nine-game winning streak at home. It's been an important week for three Connecticut players too, as the team signed veteran guard Tan White to a one-year contract extension, as well as Jessica Moore. The Sun extended guard Kara Lawson through the 2015 season. This is a happy, cohesive team run by an organization that knows how to deal with players. The Sun is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games, as well as 11-4 ATS in their last 15 Sunday games. They take on an Atlanta Dream (13-13) team that is favored despite being .500 and losing two of the last three games (one as a 12-point favorite). They are 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight-up win and 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a winning record. And when these teams meet the Sun is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings, including 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in Atlanta. Play Connecticut. In addition, look for a defensive game. Atlanta is home and strong defensively, allowing .418% shooting by opponents (third best in the league), and fourth best in the league allowing 75.9 points per game. Connecticut comes off a win and the UNDER is 3-0-1 in the Sun's last four games following a win, as well as 12-4 UNDER the total in the Sun's last 16 road games. For Atlanta, the UNDER is 7-2 in the Dream's last nine home games. Play on Connecticut and take the UNDER.
