Prop Bets: Connecticut Sun VS New York Liberty 2025-06-01
The New York Liberty, riding high on their 6-0 record, are set to take on the Connecticut Sun in the first game of the Commissioner's Cup. The Liberty are looking like a well-oiled machine, with Sabrina Ionescu's improved three-point shooting and Natasha Cloud's all-around skills leading the charge. They're also the best offense in the WNBA, which is a pretty big deal.
On the other hand, the Sun are struggling to find their footing, with a new era underway and a few growing pains to show for it. Marina Mabrey is doing her best to keep them afloat, averaging a career-high 16 points per game, but it's going to take a lot more than that to take down the Liberty.
The Liberty are 18.5-point favorites, which is a pretty hefty spread. But considering their dominance on both offense and defense, it's not hard to see why. They're holding opponents to a paltry 36.4% shooting, which is just ridiculous.
As for player props, Breanna Stewart has a rebounding total of 5.5, which she's topped in every other game this season. It's a good bet she'll do it again, especially against the Sun's weaker rebounding unit.
Tina Charles, the Hall of Famer, is looking to be a consistent leader for the young Sun roster. She's good for around 17 points and six rebounds per night, but she'll need to be careful with ball security after a career-high 11 turnovers on Friday night.
All in all, it's hard to see the Sun pulling off an upset here. The Liberty are just too strong, too deep, and too talented. Take the Liberty to cover the spread, and don't be surprised if they win by 20 or more.
Oh, and one more thing: if you're feeling fancy, take Breanna Stewart to go over 5.5 rebounds. It's a prop bet that's almost as sure as the Liberty winning the game.
