Bet highlight:

1. Washington defense aint the best as we have seen in the first match against Atlanta Dream, where they allowed 90 points
2. Looking forward to experienced players like Charles and Mabrey to carry the offense
3. The scoring line is the lowest and they should get over it easily, scored 94 against NYL

Full analysis:

The Connecticut Sun will open their 2025 WNBA season against the Washington Mystics on Sunday, May 18. The current over line for Connecticut’s total points is set at 74.5. Here’s an overview to evaluate whether the Sun are likely to go over this line.

Connecticut had a strong offensive showing in the 2024 season, averaging just over 80 points per game. They’ve added experienced players like Tina Charles and Marina Mabrey to their roster, both capable of scoring in double figures. In the preseason, the Sun defeated the reigning champions, the New York Liberty, showing good form and team chemistry.

On the other side, the Washington Mystics struggled defensively last season, allowing over 83 points per game on average. Ahead of this game, they are also dealing with injuries to important players like Georgia Amoore and Aaliyah Edwards, which could further weaken their defense.

Looking at recent matchups, Connecticut scored 76 points in their last home game against Washington, already exceeding the current betting line. Historically, they’ve gone over the total in six of their last nine home games against the Mystics.

Taking into account Connecticut’s offensive strength, Washington’s defensive concerns, and the betting trends, there’s a strong case for betting the Sun to score over 74.5 points in this matchup. However, as always, keep an eye on any last-minute lineup updates that could affect the outcome.Stake 1/5. Good Luck!
