Connecticut is leading the Eastern Conference and has the WNBA’s best overall record at 16-6, but has had trouble covering the nut. The Sun has failed to cover 6 of the last 8 on the road and 9 of the last 13 overall. Minnesota’s Seimone Augustus has returned to action and the veteran will help contain the Sun’s backcourt. Final Score Prediction, Connecticut Sun wins, but fails to cover ATS 81-79.
