[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Connecticut Sun (21-7) and New York Liberty (25-4) meet Saturday at Barclays Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sun vs. Liberty odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Liberty lead 3-0

The Sun are on a back-to-back after squeaking by the Chicago Sky 82-80 Friday. G Marina Mabrey hit 5 triples to score 24 points off the bench, and F Alyssa Thomas had 12 points, 11 assists, 9 boards and 4 steals

The Liberty took care of the Dallas Wings 79-71 Thursday as they failed to cover as 11-point faves. That snapped a 7-game cover streak, but the team is 9-1 in their last 10. F Breanna Stewart had 19 points, 7 boards, 6 dimes and 3 steals Thursday. She has scored at least 13 points in 27 straight games.

Sun at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 80, Sun 72

Moneyline

With the Liberty rested and at home, I don’t expect an upset here. If the Sun had not just played a barn burner Friday night, I would consider taking them since it’s really hard to beat a team 4 straight times in the regular season. In this case, it would be 9 straight times since 2023.

That said, -300 is too much for my blood. Instead, let’s SGP BREANNA STEWART 12 POINTS + LIBERTY -4.5 (-146) at a better price. As mentioned, she has 13+ in 27 straight.

Against the spread

The Liberty won by 8 on their home court against the Sun last time, and with the rest advantage, I’m pegging them to do it again.

Take LIBERTY -7.5 (-110) for a HALF-UNIT.

Over/Under

The Liberty are averaging 85 PPG in their 8-game winning streak and really only blew that number out twice. They’re consistently in that 80-85 range, and they’d have to hit 90 to cash an Over here. New York’s last 3 games went Under, and Connecticut has cashed an Under in 2 of 3.

Take the UNDER 156.5 (-105).

Connecticut Sun at New York Liberty odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Connecticut Sun at New York Liberty odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Connecticut Sun (18-5) clash with the New York Liberty (20-4) Tuesday. Tip from Barclays Center is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sun vs. Liberty odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

Season series: Liberty lead 2-0

Connecticut got back in the win column with a dominant 96-69 victory over the Phoenix Mercury Sunday as a 7.5-point home favorite. G Rachel Banham scored a game-high 24 points off the bench while G DiJonai Carrington (12 points, 11 rebounds) added a double-double. The Sun shot 47.4% from the field in the win.

New York has won 3 games in a row after taking down the Chicago Sky 81-67 Saturday and covering as a 3.5-point road favorite. G Sabrina Ionescu had a game-high 28 points, 1 of 4 Liberty players to score in double digits. The team shot 42.3% from the field in the win.

Liberty F Breanna Stewart (rest) is questionable for Tuesday. Stewart is the Liberty’s 2nd-leading scorer this season with 19.3 points per game, just behind Ionescu (19.4).

The Liberty and Sun are the top teams in their respective conferences.

Sun at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 85, Sun 79

Moneyline

PASS.

There is minimal value on the WNBA-best Liberty (-185), who are 11-1 at home, to beat the Sun for a 3rd time this season.

Against the spread

LEAN LIBERTY -3.5 (-115).

The Sun have failed to cover the spread in 3 of their last 4 games as underdogs and 3 of their last 5 on the road. While this is the largest spread between these 2 squads this season, the Liberty have covered in each of the 2 previous matchups. New York has covered in 3 games in a row and in 4 of its last 5 as a favorite.

Over/Under

BET OVER 153.5 (-110).

While both sides excel on defense, they also are 2 dominant offensive teams. As it stands, this total is the lowest by 5.5 points in New York’s last 10 games, with the team hitting the Over in 4 of its last 6 at home. The Sun have scored 74 or more points in 8 of their last 10 games, while the Liberty have scored 76 or more in 9 of their last 10.

Connecticut Sun at New York Liberty Game 2 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Connecticut Sun at New York Liberty Game 2 odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Connecticut Sun and New York Liberty meet Tuesday for Game 2 of their WNBA semifinals playoff matchup. Tip-off from Barclays Center is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Sun vs. Liberty Game 1 odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

The Sun lead the best-of-5 series 1-0 after Connecticut stunned New York 78-63 in Game 1 on Sunday, winning outright as an 8.5-point underdog as the Under (163) cashed.

Connecticut was led by Dewanna Bonner, who posted 20 points with 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocked shots. The Sun shot 45% (31 of 69) from the field, while shooting 80% (8 of 10) at the free-throw line, and turning it over just 8 times.

New York shot a dismal 34% (23 of 68) from the field, and it turned the ball over 14 times. That was the difference. Star Sabrina Ionescu struggled, too, misfiring on 10 of her 14 shot attempts, although she did bag four 3-pointers. Breanna Stewart was also off, hitting just 7 of 25 from the field, including 0 for 8 from behind the arc.

Over/Under (O/U): 161.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sun at Liberty Game 2 picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 88, Sun 76

Moneyline

The Liberty (-450) will cost you 4 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk for not enough reward. And Game 1 should serve as a cautionary tale why you shouldn’t bet such strong favorites, especially in a singular bet, as 1 loss can wipe out several wins.

PASS.

Against the spread

The LIBERTY -8.5 (-118) is a strong play to bounce back and square the series before heading up Interstate 95 to Mohegan Sun Arena for Game 3 later this week.

New York has failed to cover the past 2 games, and it is just 1-5 ATS in the past 6 outings overall. There is risk here. But the Liberty is an impressive 6-2 ATS in the past 8 games following a straight-up loss. Look for the big stars for the Lib to rebound for a win and cover.

Over/Under

The OVER 161.5 (-110) is worth a look, but go lightly, and play a half-unit at most.

We saw the Under cash in Game 1, as the Liberty couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. I expect the shooting to be much better for the home side in Game 2. The Over is 4-0 in the past 4 games for New York following a non-cover, and the Over is still 4-1 in the past 5 games at home despite the Under result.

Connecticut Sun at New York Liberty Game 1 odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Connecticut Sun at New York Liberty Game 1 odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Connecticut Sun and New York Liberty meet Sunday for Game 1 of their WNBA semifinals playoff matchup. Tip-off from Barclays Center is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Sun vs. Liberty Game 1 odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

The Sun pushed past the Minnesota Lynx in the 1st round of the WNBA playoffs, winning the best-of-3 series in 3 games. Connecticut was tripped up in Game 2, but won 90-75 in Minneapolis on Wednesday to cover as 5.5-point favorites as the Over (156) connected.

The Liberty eased by the Washington Mystics at home in Game 2 by a 90-85 score in overtime, and it split against the spread (ATS) in the 2 games against the Mystics, while cashing the Over in each of the playoff contests.

New York swept the regular-season series with the Sun 4-0, while covering 3 of the 4 matchups. The Over-Under split in the 4 contests, including an Under (160) result in New York’s 89-58 victory on Sept. 1 in the most recent battle.

Over/Under (O/U): 162.5 (O: -115 | U: -111)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sun at Liberty Game 1 picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 91, Sun 79

Moneyline

The rested Liberty (-420) will cost you more than 4 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk and not enough reward in this series opener. While New York has won 4 straight meetings this season, you cannot risk this much on either a singular bet, or as part of a multi-team parlay.

PASS.

Against the spread

The LIBERTY -8.5 (-105) is a rather large number for a series opener, but New York has covered 3 of 4 games against the Sun +8.5 (-115) this season. The Liberty just seem to have the number of the Sun, and New York has rolled up 89 or more points in each of the previous 3 meetings. The high-octane Liberty will fire out to a 1-0 series lead in emphatic fashion.

Over/Under

The UNDER 162.5 (-111) is the lean in the series opener, but go lightly.

The Under cashed in each of the regular-season meetings in New York, while going 4-1 in the past 5 battles at Barclays Center, while cashing in 9 of the past 13 meetings overall.

The Under is also 9-3 in the past 12 games in the semifinals round for the Sun. However, go lightly, as the Over has dominated recently for the Liberty, going 4-1 in the past 5 at home, while cashing in each of the past 4 straight.

Connecticut Sun at New York Liberty odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Connecticut Sun at New York Liberty odds and lines, with WNBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Connecticut Sun (25-11) travel to meet the New York Liberty (28-7) Friday. Tip-off from Barclays Center is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (ION). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sun vs. Liberty odds, and make our expert WNBA picks and predictions.

The Sun head to Brooklyn looking to avenge a 95-90 overtime loss at Mohegan Sun Arena against the Liberty on Aug. 24. Connecticut did cover the 6-point number at most shops while cashing the Over (166.5).

Connecticut is a healthy 3-1-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 games, although it failed to cover a 14.5-point spread in Thursday’s 84-74 win over the Phoenix Mercury.

New York is flying high after topping the league-leading Las Vegas Aces yet again on Monday, winning 94-85 in Brooklyn as a 2-point favorite as the Over (174.5) cashed. The Liberty are now 7-2 ATS across the past 9 outings, while the Over has hit in 3 in a row.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Sun at Liberty picks and predictions

Prediction

Liberty 88, Sun 82

Moneyline

The Liberty (-350) will cost you 3 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s quite expensive against a good team. The Sun (+275) played them tough in the most recent meeting, and the past 2 games have been decided by 8 or fewer points, although New York has won all 3 meetings this season.

PASS.

Against the spread

The SUN +8.5 (-115) might not win this one outright, but they’ll play the Liberty tough.

The Sun covered the most recent meeting on Aug. 24, a 5-point loss in overtime in Uncasville. Connecticut actually holds a 6-4 ATS edge in the previous 10 meetings despite going 1-2 ATS this season.

Connecticut is 3-1-1 ATS in the past 5 games overall, and 18-7-1 ATS in the past 26 games against the Eastern Conference, while going 5-2-1 ATS in the previous 8 on the road.

New York is hot against the number, too, so be careful. It has covered 4 of the past 5 at home, and 8 of the past 10 overall. Still, this is a big number for 2 teams who know each other well.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The OVER 161.5 (-110) might be the best play on the board in this Friday night battle in Gotham.

Connecticut has cashed the Over in 6 of the past 8 games against teams with a winning overall record, while New York has gone high in 9 of the past 10 against teams in the Eastern Conference. The Liberty are well rested, too, having last played Monday. The Over is 4-1 in the past 5 for the Lib when playing on 3 or more days of rest.
