Connecticut has the best record in the WNBA at 7-1. The Sun have won five in a row and 11 straight at home. They are in a great spot to extend their win streak catching Seattle playing its third road game in six days and fourth away contest in eight days.

The Storm, down injured star players Breanna Stewart and Sue Bird, just played an intense game on Friday night against Washington. That was a rematch of last year's WNBA Finals, which the Storm won. Seattle beat Washington again this time by erasing a 13-point fourth quarter deficit to pull out a hard-played, 74-71, victory.

Now, less than 48 hours later due to this being a day game, the Storm have to take on the best team in the league right now. Seattle has failed to cover four of the last five times following a spread cover.
