Fifth-place Connecticut has lost two in a row, including a 90-77 loss at Atlanta the last game. It's their second straight road contest and the Sun is 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games. Connecticut is #11 in the WNBA in rebounds and is short on defense, allowing 90 points in each of the last two games, as well as 84, 74, 90 and 90 the last four (three defeats). The Sun is rested, but 0-4 ATS when playing on three or more days rest. Tulsa is home, on a two-game win streak while ranked third in the league in points and rebounds. It's their third consecutive home contest and the Shock is 8-3 ATS following a win. Tulsa is in good shape to make the playoffs and has a shot at home-court advantage in the first round of the postseason. The Shock knocked off East-leading New York 81-76 at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, then won 74-59 against defending WNBA champion Phoenix on Tuesday. The Shock plays its fourth home game since the July 23 announcement that WNBA owners approved the plan to relocate the franchise. Fans have been wearing "Save Our Shock" shirts since. Tulsa is 7-2-1 ATS when playing on two days of rest, so grab the motivated home team and play on Tulsa.
