Sun vs Liberty Prediction
Tina Charles, the 36-year-old vet, has been scoring well this season with 17.2 points per game, but this is a very tough matchup on Sunday.
For one, the game is projected to be a blowout, with the Sun as 18-point underdogs. That's due in part to the excellent Liberty defense, especially in the frontcourt.
In Jonquel Jones and Breanna Stewart, the Liberty have the best big duo in the paint. That combo has helped the team to a league-leading defensive net rating this season.
Last season against the Liberty, Charles averaged just 12.5 points per game.
Pick: Tina Charles Under 16.5 Points (-120)
