July 13, 2022 12:00 pm EDT
The Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun face off on Wednesday in a WNBA showdown at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum. When these two teams faced off on June 8th it was the Sun that secured the 88-69 victory. This is an early game, with tip-off happening at noon eastern time.
The Fever comes into this game with a 5-19 record overall, and they have lost six games in a row. In the last game against the Chicago Sky, the defense again had some major issues, giving up 93 points and that led to the nine-point defeat. Two games ago against the Seattle Storm, the defense again struggled, giving up 95 points and that led to the 22 defeat. The Fever are averaging 78.2 points, while their defense is giving up 78.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 11th in the league, while their defense is ranked 12th. Kelsey Mitchell has been the top player for the Fever, averaging 19 points while shooting 44 percent from the field.
On the other side of this matchup is the Connecticut Sun, who sit with a 14-8 record overall. In the last game against the Dallas Wings, the defense gave up 82 points and that led to the 11-point defeat. Two games ago against the Washington Mystics, it took overtime, but the Sun were able to win 82-71. The Sun are averaging 83.9 points, while their defense is giving up 77.8 points per game. The Sun’s offense is ranked 3rd in the league, while their defense is ranked 3rd in the league. Jonquel Jones has been the top player for the Sun, averaging 14.6 points while shooting 50.2 percent from the field and 34.1 percent from behind the three-point line.
The Fever’s defense has been awful in this season and in the last game he gave up 93 points. I expect the Sun are going to run up the score and this game is going to get out of hand early. Connecticut is going to run up the score here, and that is going to be the difference as Connecticut gets the job done. Back the Sun against the spread.
