Greetings, basketball fans. Welcome back to our WNBA coverage here at Total Apex Sports. One of the games on tap from today’s slate features the Connecticut Sun (8-0 SU, 3-5 ATS) hosting the Washington Mystics (0-8 SU, 4-3-1 ATS).
First up, we have a Connecticut Sun squad that is clicking on all cylinders. They roll into this matchup on the wave of an eight-game winning streak and are the only unbeaten team in the association. I’m more than certain that having the league’s top-ranked defense has contributed to the team’s success this season.
On the other hand, we have a Washington Mystics team that has struggled to find its footing. This group is ranked last from an offensive perspective. Furthermore, they are ranked 10th in scoring defense and defensive rating out of 12 total teams. Simply put, divine intervention will be needed if the Mystics have any hopes of knocking off the unbeaten Sun.
Now that we have set the stage for this matchup let’s dive into the betting trends for both teams.
