Sun Favored Despite Losing Streak at Home
14 Jul
Summary
- Connecticut Sun are hosting summer camps for an 11 AM EST start.
- Portland Fire have the league's worst defensive rating.
- Oddsmakers favor the Sun despite their recent losses.
The Connecticut Sun are set for an early 11 a.m. EST tip-off on Tuesday, July 14, hosting the Portland Fire for their annual Camp Day event. The Sun, holding the WNBA's worst record at 5-18, including a 3-10 home record, face significant challenges.
Despite their struggles and a two-game losing streak, oddsmakers have surprisingly tabbed the Sun as favorites against the Fire. Portland, who has won five more games this season than Connecticut, struggles defensively, possessing the league's worst defensive rating.
This game features a prop bet on Portland's Bridget Carleton to score 12 or more points, given her season average and previous success against the Sun. Earlier in 2026, the Fire secured narrow victories over the Sun in Portland.
Recent performance indicates a potential shift, with the Sun showing improved net and defensive ratings over their last 10 games. Conversely, the Fire's defense has faltered, showing the league's worst defensive rating and a poor net rating over the same period.
