New York at Connecticut

While the general public consensus is in the Connecticut camp, the line is moving the other way in this opening round of the WNBA Playoffs. The Sun has a lot of talent, but it seemed as if this team lost something in the second half of the season. Connecticut won five games or more in the first half of the season by 12 points or more, but just twice in the last 16 games. I think this team is vulnerable to a sizeable number in this one. New York managed to slip into the playoffs despite a losing record on the season. They were at one point an afterthought at 9-16, but they played their best basketball down the stretch at 6-3. The Liberty has a good track record in the Conference semifinals at 9-3 ATS in their last 12, while the Sun is just 1-6 ATS in their last seven in this round. Play on New York.
