Las Vegas at Connecticut

The Las Vegas Aces (formerly San Antonio Stars) are rebuilding and not only have several rookies, but also are missing two of their best players in guards Kelsey Plum and Kayla McBride, who still need to finish their European seasons. Forward Darica Hamby arrived on Wednesday after her European season ended and will have little time to acclimate herself to her new teammates. Coach Bill Laimbeer has been concerned since he has had to hold practices without his full squad, and now his young team has to open on the road. Connecticut was 3-0 in preseason and finished with a 20-7 run last season, and gets Chiney Ogwumike back for this one after she missed last season with an injury. The Sun also added Lexie Brown and Leticia Romero to add to the team's depth. The Sun won last year's three meetings by an average of 18.3 points, and it is 6-2-1 ATS the last nine meetings. Lay the points with the Sun.
