Portland vs Connecticut Picks & Props

Leite excels at manipulating screen actions to find cutters and weak-side shooters, which is the type of defense the Connecticut Sun deploys, and why they are giving up a generous 19.6 assists per game to opposing backcourts over their last five outings. Leite is the Portland Fire engine. She should see at least 25 minutes of action today and has dished at least six dimes in half of her previous six.
Bridget Carleton is putting up 13.5 ppg for the Fire, doing most of her damage from the three-point line. Carleton now has Over 2.5 makes from deep in three of her last four games, and has attempted at least seven shots from beyond the arc in each of her last five games. I love Carleton to hit the Over on her three-pointer prop against a Sun team that allows opponents to fire away from deep.
The Connecticut Sun are dead last in point differential (-7.1), scoring (79.3 ppg), and effective field goal percentage (46.8%). The lack of offense will make it hard to stay with the Portland Fire, who have scored an average of 95.2 points over its last five games. The Fire won’t have trouble containing a tepid Connecticut offense, and I’m taking them to win giving up to three points.
Carla Leite is averaging close to six dimes on the season and is coming off a 10-assist performance. In what should be a high-scoring Portland win, she can dole out some slick passes in the victory. Brittney Griner has had enough time to nurse her quad and will be an offensive focal point for the underdog Sun.
