Betting Trends for vs
The Sun are 3-0 in the regular season, and even went 2-0 in the preseason. They also covered in their only away game this season at Minnesota. The Liberty, on the other hand, are the talk of the league despite them being .500. With their off-season additions, they are one of the favorites to bring home the Chip. They didn't look in-sync in their opener with a lot of new pieces to the puzzle. They looked better in their second game, but that was mainly because of Stewart's shooting. It will take time for this Liberty team to fire on all cylinders, until then, give us the undefeated team with balance. Final Score Prediction, the Connecticut Sun win 75-70.
