CT vs. Washington

Friday night's WNBA action will feature Eastern Conference division leaders Connecticut and Washington battling for the spot at the top.

Both the Sun and Mystics enter tonight's game at 13-9 overall, giving the winning team the slight edge as the second half of the season moves forward.

The Connecticut Sun have gone 3-2 over their last five games, including their 93-72 home victory over their Chicago Sky. One of their three WNBA All-Stars, Alyssa Thomas, led the team with 20 points on 6-for-9 shooting, while fellow All-Star Jonquel Jones had a double-double with 12 points and 10 boards.

Meanwhile, the Washington Mystics have won two-straight, including a 100-96 overtime win against the Atlanta Dream. The return of Elena Delle Donne has certainly helped as the All-Star guard tallied 29 points and 10 rebounds in the team's recent 85-76 win at San Antonio.

Kristi Tolliver has also been playing well and had a career-high 10 assists in this game, but also led the team to their overtime win against Atlanta without Delle Donne available.

On the moneyline, Washington is at -135 or -140 while the Sun are listed at +115 or +120 as underdogs. The over/under is currently around 168 or 168.5 points for the complete game.
