Washington at Connecticut

This becomes a crucial spot for Connecticut and their playoffs aspirations. They reside in fourth place in the East, two games from securing a playoffs spot. One of those teams above them is the Washington Mystics. Washington had control of the division, but has fallen hard of late, winning of just one of their last four. They have been 5-2 playing the West, but just 8-6 vs. the East, and have won just once in their last four in the division. Connecticut is off a surprising upset loss at home to lowly LA who had been 1-10 on the road, so the Sun will be playing with purpose, with a chip on their shoulder and on a home court that has proven lethal. I'll go with Connecticut here.
