Toronto at Connecticut

Connecticut has been the worst team in the league since the opening tip. Sitting at 1-8, the Sun rank near the bottom of the WNBA in offensive rating — they simply cannot score with enough volume or consistency to put teams away, and their defense hasn't compensated for it. They've dropped five of their last six games, and home court hasn't provided much cushion. Toronto is an expansion team still finding itself on the road — their defensive rating drops significantly away from home — but this matchup against a Sun squad that can't generate offense softens that concern considerably. Brittney Sykes showed exactly what she can do against Connecticut in Commissioner's Cup play, going for 38 points in a Toronto overtime win. Marina Mabrey, drafted from the Sun in the expansion pool, knows this roster inside out. The -1.5 price on the road against the league's most offensively limited team is a number worth laying.
