New York at Connecticut

Connecticut's 2-10 record is real, but so is the fact that they lost to Chicago by five just recently — this isn't a team that rolls over every night. What is consistent is the offense, which has ranked among the league's worst all season and hasn't found a fix. That's the engine of this combined play. New York should win this game. But the Liberty don't need to pour it on to make their point, and teams laying double digits against struggling opponents tend to hit cruise control once the game is in hand rather than chase a number. The spread is asking New York to dominate start to finish; that's not how they've played — an eight-point win over Indiana two days ago suggests comfortable and controlled is the more likely outcome. On the other end, Connecticut's offense keeps the total down regardless. The Sun score in the 70s, New York manages the clock, and the combined total never climbs. Connecticut covers, and the UNDER plays out — play it both ways tonight. Take the Sun and the UNDER.
