Thursday night will feature a matchup between the Connecticut Sun and Washington Mystics in the WNBA. Connecticut is a heavy favorite going into that matchup, but the Mystics have been playing some decent basketball of late and will be hoping to pull off an upset on their home floor. Continue reading for our WNBA betting picks for Sun vs Mystics.
This game will be played at Entertainment & Sports Arena at 7:00 PM ET on Thursday, June 27, 2024.
Connecticut Sun
The Connecticut Sun have lost two games in a row going into Thursday night’s action in the WNBA. But a little context is needed when talking about their recent two-game losing streak. Those losses both came on the road against elite teams in the Las Vegas Aces and Seattle Storm. Now the question will be whether or not the Sun can bounce back against a much weaker team in the Mystics.
Connecticut’s defense will not be a question mark coming into this matchup, as the Sun hold the best scoring defense in the WNBA. The question will be whether the Sun can generate enough offense to win this game by a significant margin. That will start with the shooting of DeWanna Bonner, who is just 6/23 from the field over her last two games.
Washington Mystics
The Washington Mystics have won two straight games entering Thursday’s Sun vs Mystics matchup. Those two wins came against a Dallas Wings team that is now up to 11 straight losses, with Washington pulling itself out of last place in the WNBA standings with those two victories. Washington will now seek a third straight win, though they will need to get it over a much better opponent in the Sun.
For Washington, the big question on Thursday will be whether or not they can generate consistent offense against the Sun. Connecticut is allowing just 71.7 points per game for the year, the best mark in the league. Washington struggles offensively even against bad opponents, which could make tonight a tough one for them to say the least.
