Jessica Shepard will dominate the glass while Dallas dominates Connecticut.
EXPERT PICK – PROP
Jessica Shepard o11.5 Total Rebounds (-115)

The Connecticut Sun play their sixth straight road game when they travel to College Park Center to face the Dallas Wings tonight.
Connecticut dealt leading rebounder Aneesah Morrow to the Tempo on Friday, and my Sun vs. Wings predictions and WNBA picks expect Jessica Shepard to take advantage of a favorable matchup at home.
Read on to see why I’m taking Shepard to eclipse her rebound total and why I think Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd will lead Dallas to a double-digit victory.
Sun vs Wings prediction
Sun vs Wings best bet: Jessica Shepard Over 11.5 rebounds (-115)
In 16 games with at least 20 minutes played, Aneesah Morrow averaged 10.4 rebounds, and her 18.6% rebound percentage ranks second among players averaging 20+ minutes.
Morrow’s absence gives Shepard a great opportunity to clean the glass with authority.
Shepard leads the W in rebounds at 11.9 per game, and she’s averaged 12.4 at home. She’s averaged a robust 13.2 boards across her last nine, going for 12+ seven times.
I’d play this up to 13.5, as Shepard has grabbed 14+ in four of her last five.

Sun vs Wings same-game parlay
Azzi Fudd is averaging 15.3 points per game at home, where she’s scored 14+ in seven of 12 contests. Over her last nine, she’s reached that mark six times. Connecticut has allowed the third-highest 3-point percentage (35.7), presenting a favorable matchup for the sharpshooting guard.
Connecticut is just 1-4 ATS on its current road trip, and the team won’t have any help in the paint with Morrow gone and Brittney Griner banged up.
Dallas can control the glass and get second-chance looks from its star backcourt, proving too much for the struggling Sun.
