Prediction: Connecticut Sun VS New York Liberty 2025-06-01
The undefeated New York Liberty, led by Breanna Stewart's 19.0 points per game and Jonquel Jones' 11.4 rebounds per game, are looking to extend their franchise-best 6-0 start. They're facing the struggling Connecticut Sun, who just secured their first win of the season. The Liberty are heavy favorites, with odds ranging from -18.0 to -18.5 across various bookmakers.
Nyara Sabally, a key reserve for the Liberty, is listed as questionable due to a knee injury. However, even without Sabally, the Liberty's depth and talent should be too much for the Sun to handle. Marina Mabrey, who led the Sun to their first win with 26 points, will need to have another big game if the Sun want to keep this one close.
My best bet for this matchup is the New York Liberty -18.0 points. The Liberty have been dominating on both ends of the court, leading the league in scoring and points allowed. The Sun, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their footing, and their lack of experience and cohesion will likely be exposed against a team as talented as the Liberty.
Take the Liberty -18.0 points, and expect them to continue their winning streak. The Sun might be able to keep it close for a quarter or two, but the Liberty's depth and talent will eventually wear them down.
