The Connecticut Sun keep on winning starting the season with a 9-3 record heading into Tuesday's matchup with the lowly Seattle Storm.

Seattle won its last game, scoring 109 points against the Dallas Wings behind a monster game from Jewell Loyd.

The Storm are still 11th in the WNBA in net rating this season – ahead of only the Phoenix Mercury – entering this matchup. Connecticut, on the other hand, is third in the league.

The Sun have a balanced attack and an elite defense, which could be an issue for a Storm team that is 10th in the league in effective field goal percentage. Still, the Storm have been solid on the road from a betting perspective, going 4-2 ATS.

Let's dive into the odds and my best bet for this game:

Sun vs. Storm odds, spread and total

Sun vs. Storm prediction and pick

The Storm may have hung 109 points on the Wings, but Connecticut is a much different team. Seattle has struggled against the best teams in the league this season, losing to the New York Liberty by eight at home and getting blown out by 30+ points twice by the Las Vegas Aces.

Connecticut isn't as explosive as those teams on offense, but the Sun are top five in the league in both offensive and defensive rating this season.

CT has also thrived away from Mohegan Sun Arena, going 5-1 straight up on the season.

The key for Seattle is going to be the 3-ball, as the team is fifth in the league in 3-point percentage, but the Sun are No. 2 in the league in 3-point field goal defense.

Seattle's scoring is heavily predicated on Loyd and the 3-point shot, so if one of those can't get going, this could be a long game for Seattle.

I'll trust the Sun to win this game behind their defense.

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
