The New York Liberty and Connecticut Sun are the two top teams in the Eastern Conference this season, and they’ve already faced off twice in 2023 with the Liberty taking both games by at least eight points.
Will that change on Thursday in Connecticut?
The Sun would love to pick up a win here as a confidence boost before the playoffs, as it is likely these teams will be the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds. They have just one more matchup after this one on the schedule, and that game is in New York.
New York is loaded with the likes of Breanna Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel, Jones, Courtney Vandersloot and others, but it hasn’t been the best team to bet on this season, going 15-17 against the spread.
