| WNBA Preview: Indiana Fever vs. Connecticut Sun |
The best place to wager on the WNBA is the online sportsbook BetPhoenix. The Indiana Fever can clinch their season series against the Connecticut Sun and move atop the Eastern Conference by themselves with a win Thursday night. The Sun, however, have hardly been accommodating hosts. First place in the East is on the line at Mohegan Sun Arena, where Connecticut looks to improve to 8-0 while recording its fifth straight victory overall. Connecticut (10-5) fell 90-78 at Indiana on July 13, its second loss to the Fever at Conseco Fieldhouse, but coach Mike Thibault’s team hasn’t lost since. The Sun are on a four-game winning streak that included a bit of revenge against Indiana (11-6), a 76-71 victory July 17 highlighted by a season-high 22 points from rookie reserve Danielle McCray. McCray only had two points in Connecticut’s first game after the All-Star break, but the Sun’s All-Star starter made sure her team’s winning streak would continue. Tina Charles had 21 points, 15 rebounds and played excellent defense on WNBA leading scorer Sylvia Fowles in a 77-66 victory at Chicago on Tuesday. “I tried to get her out of her rhythm, trying to play hard defense,” Charles said. “I think me and her, when we play against each other, we try to take it personal.” Indiana and Connecticut may be in the midst of developing a bit of a rivalry as the East’s top two teams, and with a tight race, Thursday’s meeting is critical. A Fever victory would give them the season series, but if the Sun win, a Sept. 2 meeting at Mohegan Sun will determine a potential tiebreaker. Even winning one of those two seems like a monumental task for Indiana, however. Connecticut is the league’s lone unbeaten team on its own court, winning those seven games by an average of 8.7 points. This will be the Fever’s first game since the break, but they went into their week-long hiatus on a positive note. After losing a season-high three straight from July 15-19, Indiana cruised past visiting Chicago 77-63 last Thursday behind 20 points from Jessica Davenport. Davenport came off the bench for the second game in a row after starting her previous eight contests. “My role hasn’t changed,” said Davenport, who’s averaged 15.0 points in her last eight games after averaging just 10.7 in her first nine. “They still want me to be a presence down low, whatever game we play or whoever we play against.” Davenport has only averaged 11.0 points in the three games against the Sun. The reason Indiana has beaten Connecticut twice was its ability to contain Charles. The Sun’s center had 18 points and 14 boards in Connecticut’s victory July 17, but she was held to just 13.5 points per game in the two losses to the Fever. Charles has scored at least 15 points in all 10 Sun victories. Indiana was the last team to beat Connecticut at Mohegan Sun, a 79-66 win Aug. 15 behind 26 points from Tamika Catchings. This game will be great to watch and the Sun will defend home court with a big win. Play on the Connecticut Sun
