The Dallas Wings and Connecticut Sun face off on Tuesday in a WNBA showdown at the College Park Center. When these two teams faced off on May 26th it was the Sun that were able to win 99-68.
The Wings come into this game with a 9-12 record overall, and they have lost three games in a row. Two games ago against the Minnesota Lynx, the defense gave up 92 points and in the last game against the Los Angeles Sparks they gave up 97 points. Overall this season, the Wings are averaging 81.4 points while their defense is giving up 82.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 7th, while the defense is ranked 7th overall. Arike Ogunbowale has been the top player for the Wings this season, averaging 19.5 points while shooting 40.8 percent from the field and 37.2 percent from behind the three-point line
On the other side of this matchup is the Connecticut Sun, who sits with a 14-7 record overall, but it took overtime in the last game against the Washington Mystics to secure the victory. The Sun came back in the 4th quarter to even get to overtime, and they secured the two-point victory that way. The Sun are averaging 84.5 points, while their defense is giving up 77.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 2nd in the league, while their defense is ranked 3rd. The top offensive player has been Jonquel Jones who is averaging 14.9 points while shooting 50.7 percent from the field and 35.4 percent from behind the three-point line In this game the offense is going to need to be good.
The last time these two teams faced off, the Sun scored 99 points, and they should have no issue running up the score in this game. The Sun’s offense has been strong all season, averaging 84.5 points per game, and I expect this is going to be a game where the offense is strong. Back the over to cash here.
