Connecticut Looking to Reverse Recent Results
Connecticut comes into Monday's game with a 2-10 overall record and a 1-3 home record. The Sun have struggled over the last five games, losing four of those contests. Their lone victory during that stretch was an 84-81 home win over Los Angeles. Most recently, Connecticut dropped games against Chicago and Atlanta.
The Sun are averaging 75.9 points per game while allowing 88.1 points. Connecticut is shooting 41% from the field and averages 33.9 rebounds and 17.9 assists per contest. Defensively, the Sun have produced 4.2 blocks and 8.4 steals per game.
A positive for Connecticut has been its ability to create turnovers, reflected in its 8.4 steals per game. However, the larger issue has been the scoring differential. The Sun are allowing over 88 points per contest while scoring less than 76, making it difficult to consistently stay competitive against stronger opponents.

New York Liberty vs Connecticut Sun Pick
- Pick: New York Liberty -11.5
New York has won four straight games and owns major advantages in scoring, assists, and overall efficiency entering this matchup. The Liberty average 87.2 points per game compared to Connecticut's 75.9, while also allowing fewer points defensively. Connecticut has lost four of its last five games and has struggled throughout the season.

New York Liberty vs Connecticut Sun Total Pick
- Pick: Under 163.5
I'm leaning toward the under in this matchup. While New York has been productive offensively, Connecticut averages just 75.9 points per game. The Sun have reached 81 points only once in their last five contests. With one team struggling offensively and New York capable of controlling the pace once it builds a lead, the under looks like the stronger option at 163.5.
