After the Olympic hiatus, both teams return to action tonight as the Sun travel to Dallas to take on the Wings. See how I used the Rithmm App to create custom sports betting models to get my AI prediction for Connecticut vs Dallas.

The Sun are 18 - 6 this season and sit in 2nd place in the standings, 2.5 games behind the New York Liberty. The Sun enter tonights game a -5.5 favorite over the Wings who bring along their 6 - 19 record, which is good for a tie for last place with the LA Sparks.

This is the 3rd match up between these two teams with the Sun winning both games earlier this season. Both teams come in with full rest after the Olympic break and will have to work hard to shake off the rust.

Preview of my Sun vs Wings AI Prediction

The Connecticut Sun and Dallas Wings meets Friday August 16th at the College Park Center in Arlington, TX at 9:30 PM EDT. The game can be seen on ION Tv and streaming on WNBA League Pass.

Connecticut Sun Preview

The Sun go on the road looking to continue their chase of the New York Liberty, who won their first game back last night in a dominating fashion against the Las Vegas Aces 103 - 68. The Sun had lost 2 of their last 3 games prior to the break and will need to lean on DeWanna Bronner and her 16.7 points per game as well as Alyssa Thomas with her 9.2 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game to bring back their winning ways.

Connecticut allows the fewest opponent offensive rebounds per game and and are tied for fourth in steals per game with 8.0. The Sun are also 8th in the league in points and sit 10th in 3-points attempts and makes with 17.7 and 5.5 respectively.

The Sun are 2nd overall in win percentage this season and will need to keep pace with the hot Liberty.

Dallas Wings Preview

The Wings come into this game going in a completely different direction from the Sun having gone 3 - 7 in their last 10 games prior to the break in spite of great performances from the likes of Arike Ogunbowale and her 22.3 points per game. Dallas also lost 3 of their final 4 games before the break and will look to German national team player Satou Sabally to bring some much needed help to this Wings team.

Dallas leads the league in offensive rebound percentage, is 5th in the league with 81.9 points per game, 4th in field goal percentage at 44.5 and 5th in free throw percentage at 78.7.
