Fire vs. Sun Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Tuesday, July 14

It was a good start to the season for the Portland Fire, with a 6-4 record in their first 10 games. However, they’ve fallen apart since, going 4-8. This recent stretch has knocked them out of a playoff spot, but the league's parity keeps them in contention, and Portland is just two games behind the eighth seed despite being under .500.

They have some talent, specifically G Carla Leite. The EuroCup Finals MVP is getting a chance to start for the Fire after coming off the bench for the Wings last season, currently leading the team in scoring at 15.1 points and ranking fifth in the league in assists at 5.8 per game.

It’s the final season in Uncasville for the Sun, but they will likely not be leaving town with a WNBA Championship. They have the worst record in the league and are 7.5 games out of the playoffs as it stands. 

The highlight of their season so far could be their upset win over the top-seeded Lynx, since their other four wins are against teams that are under .500. 

There are some pieces they could build on when they make the move to Houston. PF Aneesah Morrow is having a great second year, nearly averaging a double-double with 10.5 points and 9.4  rebounds (fourth in WNBA). With veteran C Brittany Griner, these two add up to a very good frontcourt. 

Injuries to Connecticut’s core players could explain their recent struggles. Morrow has missed the last three games, Griner has missed the last two games, and G Saniya Rivers, who is second on the team with 3.1 assists per game, missed the previous game.
