Connecticut at Seattle

This is a long road trip for Connecticut, 3,000 miles, and the start of a four-game trip. The team is weak all over, ninth in points scored, and #10 in rebounds. The Sun come off a rare victory, but are 3-8 ATS when following a straight-up win, plus 3-9-1 ATS against a team with a losing straight-up record. Seattle is home for the second straight time, off a loss to unbeaten Minnesota as frontcourt force Breanna Stewart had 21 points and nine rebounds. They have a good backcourt, too, with veteran Sue Bird (13.3 point per game, 5.5 assists per game) and Jewell Loyd (17.2 ppg). Seattle posted a 93-81 victory on its home floor on May 28 over Connecticut and will roll again. Lay the points on Seattle.
