Connecticut Sun WNBA Betting Online
Last year, after both the Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm missed the playoffs for the first time since 2012 and 2015, respectively, the Sun entered the season with the longest active playoffs streak for the WNBA, making the playoffs every year since 2017.
The Sun started the season on a scorching hot streak as they won seven straight games in May to finish the month 7–0. The winning streak included a four-point win over Indiana, a one-point overtime victory over Minnesota, and a four-point win over Chicago.
The winning streak continued into June as the Sun won their first two games in that month. Their first loss of the season did not come until June 8, when they lost to New York. The Sun won four straight games after that loss.
However, they experienced their first rough patch of the season until the end of June, losing three out of their last four games. Their only win in that stretch came in overtime against Washington. They finished June 7–4. They won the first three games of July before losing to New York. They would defeat Phoenix by twenty-seven points before losing again to New York to enter the Olympic break. They finished July 4–2 and were 18–6 before the Olympic break.
The Sun defeated Dallas in the first game back from the break before losing to Atlanta. They would win their next three games, including their first win against New York this season. They lost to Indiana and defeated Washington to finish August 5–2. The win against New York secured the Sun their playoff birth on August 24. The Sun split two games with Seattle to begin September. They lost to Las Vegas before winning three straight games. In their final three games, they lost to Las Vegas and Minnesota before defeating Chicago in the final game of the season. They finished September 5–4 and the season with a 28–12 record. Their twenty-eight wins were the most in franchise history.
