Atlanta at Connecticut

The best of the East (Atlanta) heads to the worst of the East (Connecticut). Atlanta has won two in a row, is tops in the WNBA in rebounding, and are 4th in points scored. First-year coach Michael Cooper is back from medical leave and Angel McCoughtry is back from a two-game absence. The team has clinched the East's No. 1 seed and comes off a pair of blowouts, a 96-82 win over Phoenix and a win over Tulsa, 92-76 on Friday. Erika de Souza finished with 21 points and 12 rebounds Friday, while leading scorer Angel McCoughtry scored 12 points in 15 minutes. Meanwhile, Connecticut has everything going wrong, 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games. The Sun have lost four of five and have gone through a grind since the end of last season when former MVP Tina Charles demanded a trade and general manager Chris Sienko obliged by dealing her to New York on draft night. Atlanta has won the last two meetings as McCoughtry scored 25 points in an 89-80 victory in the most recent matchup July 29, and they will again. Play Atlanta.
