The Connecticut Sun need a win to rebound from a horrible 2-10 start. The Sun have lost 15 of their last 18 regular-season games.

Brittney Griner is out for the Sun with a rib strain. Kennedy Burke is questionable with an illness.
Sabrina Ionescu is out for the Liberty due to back soreness.
I don’t want to back the Sun as much as the next guy, as they’ve comfortably been the worst team in the WNBA all season. This team is awful at both ends of the floor, and they’ll be down one of their best players in Griner as well. However, this is a lot of points for a Liberty team that has yet to play to its potential. Also, the Liberty haven’t done well in the big favorite role, which includes being 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games as a double-digit favorite. Five of those games were outright losses. I’m going to plug my nose and grab the points with the Sun.
