Projected Line: NY Liberty by 4 points
Connecticut is coming from a big win over Indiana, in a game where Tina Charles dominated. The Fever play with a small lineup and the reigning MVP took advantage of them to torch them. Thanks to her, the Sun grabbed 57% of the rebounds, while Charles herself had 13-17 FG, 30 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks: pure domination! Indiana's offense missed a lot of wide open shots, their bench was very poor, they are unable to create shots down low, while Tamika Catchings had a poor shooting game with 3-15 FG! Connecticut saw four of their starters playing more than 34 minutes against the Fever and now with just 1 day off to rest for tonight's game, I believe this will be a pure letdown spot for the Sun!
New York is coming from a revenge game against Atlanta, on their best performance of the season so far! The Liberty are defending very well right now by averaging a defensive rating of 88.6 over their last four games! But the difference on their last game against the Dream was their offense, with less turnovers (a season low of 16), while having a season high 22 assists, the first game where they reached the 20 assists mark this season! Cappie Pondexter showed good rhythm on the fourth quarter, while their frontcourt was also excellent, as this was the first game of the season where Atlanta got outrebounded!
The Liberty have a better spot for today and they are playing much better than they were on their season debut, where they lost at Connecticut. At that time, the Sun was healthy, while the Liberty had to play without Plenette Pierson. She has returned to the team meanwhile and she has been helping the Liberty a lot. It also seems like Cheryl Ford will finally play tonight and with that Connecticut will struggle more to dominate down low, unlike what happened on their last game at Indiana. Therefore, I believe the Liberty will have a great win tonight and so, I'll be taking them in here.
