San Antonio at Washington

A long road trip for San Antonio, an inconsistent squad on a two-game skid. The defense has allowed 81 points in each of the last two games, which is not a surprise as in the 12-team WNBA they are 11th in rebounds and 10th in points allowed. San Antonio did squeeze out a close cover the last game, but the Stars are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games following a spread win, and both those two games were at home. Now they head out on a four-game trip. By contrast, Washington is great defensively, tops in the WNBA in points allowed at just 74 points per game. Washington has won two in a row, including an 81-70 win at San Antonio as a +6 dog. They are on a 3-0 ATS run. Emma Meesseman had 22 points and 13 rebounds to lead Washington to a 69-63 victory Friday night, snapping the Connecticut Sun's six-game winning streak. Washington controlled the paint, outrebounding the Sun 38-25, a key advantage against a Connecticut team that likes to pick up points on the offensive glass. The Stars are 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings, so grab home court. Play Washington.
