ATS.IO: Take the Sun to cover in Game 1 vs. Wings
Jay Sanin writes: "The Dallas Wings are without their best player in Arike Ogunbowale for this game. There is also a strong possibility that Satou Sabally will continue to miss time for them in this series opener. With Ogunbowale out, Marina Mabrey will try to do too much against an elite Sun defense, and the Sun will capitalize in a big way."

Odds Jam: Go with the Sun to cover against Wings in series opener
Griffin Queen writes: "The Sun have momentum on their side (8-2 in their last 10) as well as health. While the Wings have arguably looked better in her absence, they are missing their leading scorer from this season, Arike Ogunbowale, due to a hip injury. When defenses tighten up in the playoffs, that’s a tough pill to swallow. While we’ll be taking the Sun to win."
