Wings @ Sun

What will be the GAME RESULT?

Wings: Win or Single Digit Loss

@ Sun: Win by Double Digits

 

Current odds:

Dallas Wings: (+575)

Connecticut Sun: (-900)

 

• The line for this game is Sun by 11.5 points.

• The Sun won 1 of 3 games during the regular season series by double dights. The Sun won game 1 of this series by double digits.

• The Connecticut Sun don’t necessarily need the type of dominance they displayed in their playoff opener. But an encore against the Dallas Wings would be nice as the Sun look to close out the best-of-three first-round series in Game 2 on Sunday afternoon in Uncasville, Conn.

• Thursday night’s 93-68 final became a showcase for the Sun. In the Game 1 romp, five Connecticut players scored in double figures, while Alyssa Thomas had a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds.

• Even guard Odyssey Sims going to the bench with an ailment didn’t seem to be a major concern for the Sun.

• The Wings went 5-2 in August to close the regular season, but the postseason opener was jarring.

• Allisha Gray racked up 17 points in Game 1 for the Wings, but it was mostly an uneven and disconnected performance for Dallas.

• Miller said the key was holding the Dallas trio of Gray, Marina Mabrey and Teaira McCowan to a total of 35 points.

• The Wings had forward Satou Sabally available for the series after she missed time with injuries. She hadn’t played since July 12 because of an ankle injury until suiting up for Game 1, when she posted 10 points in 15 minutes off the bench.

• Dallas won two of three meetings in the regular season against the Sun.
