Sun vs. Liberty Prediction, WNBA Betting Odds & Expert Picks Tonight: Aug. 25
The New York Liberty (22-15) have dropped back-to-back games entering tonight's matchup against the Connecticut Sun (9-27), but I expect New York to get back on track with my Sun vs. Liberty prediction. Tipoff is at 7 p.m. ET on Monday in Barclays Center.
Breanna Stewart is expected to make her return for a team defending its WNBA championship odds. That’s why the Liberty are favored by 14 points.
I believe in a dominant performance by the defending champs, particularly on the defensive end, for my WNBA prediction, but expect Stewart to be eased back into the lineup slowly.

📈 Sun vs. Liberty betting odds analysis
The Liberty begin as 14-point favorites, a line that could move in their favor if Stewart can return. New York has only had one instance where it was a bigger favorite in the last 13 contests without Stewart, when it lost outright while laying -15 against the Chicago Sky.

⬇️ Under 166.5 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐
Once team totals become more widely available, I’d offer a four-star recommendation on the Under for Connecticut’s team total at 75.5 or better.
Stewart, who has been out for nearly a month, is reportedly targeting a return before her birthday on Aug. 27. Well, this is New York’s only game before then.
If Stewart returns to the lineup, her defensive impact will be most noticeable.
According to WNBA’s on-off splits, the Liberty have a defensive rating of 97 in the 756 minutes with Stewart on the court. That mark jumps up to 103.6 in 724 minutes without her this season.
The Liberty have had seven games with a total in the 170s since losing Stewart. They had four such contests before her injury. All signs point toward a better defensive showing from New York.

💰 Best Sun vs. Liberty player prop bet
⬇️ Breanna Stewart Under 23.5 points + rebounds + assists (-125 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Assuming Stewart is back in the lineup on Monday, I’m expecting a little bit of rust. This would be her first game with Emma Meesseman, which could take some time for everybody to get acclimated.
Stewart will likely shift from power forward to small forward in the lineup, resulting in fewer rebound opportunities. I’d rather target the Under on this PRA combo line on the assumption that the Liberty ease her into action against an inferior opponent.
At -125 odds at FanDuel, a $10 bet would net $8 in profits.

Who is the favorite to win Sun vs. Liberty?
New York is a 14-point favorite against Connecticut on Monday in Barclays Center.
How do WNBA spread odds work?
When betting on the WNBA, the favorite needs to win by a certain number of points to cover the "point spread" - also known as the betting line. Conversely, the underdog needs to lose by fewer than the points displayed in the spread or win outright to cash. For example, a 3-point favorite would need to win by 4 or more points to reward bettors.
How do WNBA moneyline odds work?
When betting on the WNBA, the underdog will have the "longer" odds and is typically priced at "plus-money" odds that indicate the profit on a $100 bet. For example, a team with +150 odds would turn a $100 bet into a $150 profit - or a $10 bet into a $15 profit - according to our odds converter.
