The Connecticut Sun have already clinched a playoff spot, while visiting Dallas is trying to hang on to the last playoff seed. There are major motivational points for Dallas in this one. The Wings are a game ahead of the Las Vegas Aces for the last playoff slot, plus they have a new coach. A late season slump has prompted a coaching change, firing Fred Williams and replacing him for the rest of the season with assistant Taj McWilliams-Franklin. The new coach wants to make a good impression to keep her job security, while the players want to make the postseason. Dallas is 13-5 ATS when playing on one day of rest, ranked third in the WNBA in scoring. They face a Connecticut squad that is 32-52 ATS as a home favorite of 6.5 to 12 points. In addition, WNBA road teams that are off three or more straight losses are 91-48 ATS. With the Wings on a 13-6-1 ATS run at Connecticut, back the hungry visitors. Play the points on Dallas.
