Both teams are riding winning streaks into this matchup, but the Sun has much more on the line trailing first place by just one game, while Dallas is dead last in the West. The Sun will take this game straight up, but has had problems covering. Connecticut has failed to cover each of the last 4 at home and each of the last 4 overall. Final Score Prediction, Connecticut Sun wins but fails to cover ATS 77-74.
