Connecticut Sun's road struggles face a tough test against a Fever team winning seven of its last 10

Believe it or not, we are only two months away from the WNBA Playoffs. There is a lot of stuff still to come with the season, but when your season is only 44 games, it tends to go by fairly quickly. This has been an interesting campaign. With two new teams in the league, a big turnaround from the Wings, and somewhat of a falloff from the Aces and Liberty, there might be some new excitement in the postseason. Before we get there, let’s talk about the Sun and the league’s most popular team, the Fever.

The Sun are not a team that you’d expect to score a ton of points – averaging only about 80 points per game. However, the Fever are not a very good defensive team, and again, you get a big effort every time from the opposition. I feel like the total can go either way, I don’t know that the Sun can stop the Fever, but I don’t think the Fever have much interest in playing defense, either.

The Fever have a rest advantage in this game; they’ve been at home for a while, but did have a back-to-back before this. Still, they’ve been off for a couple of days. Being in the same gym for multiple days helps with sight lines for shooters and allows them to be more comfortable. The Sun will have a long stretch off after this game, but will still be on the road. I like the Fever early in this one as I’m not sure they will blow out the Sun late. Connecticut has kept games close on the road lately. Give me the Fever 1st quarter at -2.5. I think this is where they will have the biggest advantage of being familiar for shooting.
