Detroit at Connecticut

The Detroit Shock are a long way from where they finished a year ago, cutting down the nets and claiming a WNBA Championship. This team has battled injuries and a coaching change, but still sits at three games under .500, and on the outside looking in. The Connecticut Sun are 13-9 after a poor 1-3 start and are certainly hoping to make the playoffs, so this becomes a critical game for them at home. The Sun have really taken advantage of their home court as after an 0-2 start, they have rallied to go 10-2 here. The Shock have really struggled against the East, as they are just 4-13 ATS in their last 17, while a Sun's team with a couple days rest has not lost ATS in their last six. Connecticut is hot at home and has more to play for here, so I'll back them in this one.
