Connecticut Sun vs New York Liberty Bet Builder Tips: Liberty To Cover On The Road
New York Liberty -5.5
The Liberty haven’t been the best team against the spread this season, but they have been playing excellent basketball of late and deserve to be favourites for this one. New York has won seven of its last eight, covering this number in all of those wins. Their lone loss over that period came against the Las Vegas Aces.
Connecticut has gone 5-4 over its last nine despite beating the Sky and Mystics in their last two. Their three previous losses (two of which were against the Dallas Wings) were by six or more points. It has been a difficult few weeks for the Sun – even with homecourt advantage, we think they’re going to have a tough time keeping up with the red-hot Liberty.
Under 161.5 total points
Both teams have landed the over more often than the under this season, but this total points line looks a little high. The Sun have played at the slowest pace in the Association over their last eight games, leading to a number of low-scoring contests. Both teams rank in the top three in defensive rating and in points conceded per game.
Connecticut has gone under this number in five of their last eight. Defensive issues during their three-game losing streak are the exception in that timespan.
New York has seen their defence stifle numerous opponents in August. While their offence has also been able to blow teams away, we expect them to be a little bit less efficient against a Sun defence which has held them to 81 and 89 points in their previous matchups.
