Stephen Nover's WNBA Thursday Spread Crusher
(WNBA) New York vs. Connecticut,
Point Spread: -6.00 | -110.00 New York (Away)
Result: Loss
Connecticut is the third-best team in the WNBA. Unfortunately for the Sun they are a distant third behind Las Vegas and New York.

The Sun host New York here, but it's not a good spot for them. This marks Connecticut's third game in five days, all at different venues. The Sun have lost three of their past five games. They narrowly escaped short-handed Washington on the road two days ago winning, 68-64.

New York is peaking at the right time as their star players are now more acclimated to each other. The Liberty are 20-4 in their last 24 games, covering six of their past seven games.

The Liberty are battle-tested having played the Aces twice during their last three games with both games being in Las Vegas.

New York should be well-rested and prepared for this challenge having been idle since last Friday.
