Wednesday's WNBA schedule includes four games, two of which will take place in the early morning. In the first game on the slate, the New York Liberty host the Connecticut Sun. Currently, the Sun are leading the Eastern Conference and will look to extend that lead over the Washington Mystics with a win today. The Liberty are looking to extend their winning streak to two games after a recent win over those Mystics. Here's a look at today's game preview including matchup odds, Tv Channels, time and how to watch the Sun vs. Liberty live streaming online.
WNBA game preview
The Connecticut Sun have been a surprise so far this WNBA season. Currently, at 12-8, the team is just four wins away from besting their top win total in the past four seasons of 15. They've been near the bottom of the East in each of those four seasons, but are now leading the conference. The success has lead to four of their five starters being named to the East's All-Star roster as Jonquel Jones and Jasmine Thomas get to start while Elizabeth Williams and Alyssa Thomas will be among the reserves. The team is currently 7-5 on the road and 4-1 in their last five games.
The New York Liberty are led by their All-Star starter Tina Charles who nearly averages a double-double. Her 20.9 points per game is second-best in the league behind Brittney Griner, while her 9.5 rebounds a game ranks third overall.
Only Minnesota's Sylvia Fowles and Connecticut's Jonquel Jones rank higher in boards per game. The Liberty are 2-3 over their past five games but picked up a home win recently, 85-55, to rout a Mystics team lacking Elena Delle Donne. Can they make it two-straight today?
Odds makers have Connecticut listed as 2.5 to 3.5-point favorites on the spread.
On the money line, Connecticut is just a slight favorite at -111 compared to -109 for the home team. The over/under points total opened at 162 and has moved to 163.5 at one book, according to Odds Shark. Connecticut is looking for a season sweep today as they've won the two previous meetings this season against New York.
