At 3:00pm ET, my Opening RD. GOY is on the Connecticut Sun. Indiana has taken a big step forward with Caitlin Clark leading the way. They still aren't ready to win a playoff road game against the Sun though. The "Clark factor" is keeping the line down. Connecticut plays excellent defense and will crank up the intensity. Even as fast as she gets them off, Clark will find it difficult to hit threes. In the regular season, the Sun held opponents to 31.3 percent on 3-point attempts, second lowest in the WNBA, and the 73.6 points they allowed per game was the best in the league. The Sun won the 2 regular season meetings at Mohegan Sun Arena by 21 and by 17. Their defense will be the difference in another big win.
