00:00I'll see you next time.
00:05Son 12 and a half point favorites.
00:06Why are you going to this Gail Gilbert is gonna be a blowout.
00:08Uh, what and by the way, oh, you know what?
00:10Let me add this.
00:11Let me add this to the mix here.
00:12Now, again, you follow the WNBA more than me.
00:16The LA Sparks Gilbert are horrible, man.
00:18What?
00:19I mean, wasn't this like a model franchise in the WNBA for a long time?
00:22Like they're just getting crushed.
00:25You know, you think about the, the talent that that's thrown on Sparks
00:28in the past between Lisa Leslie, Candace Park,
00:30and plenty other names that I could name,
00:32but those are certainly to step up, stay at the top.
00:35They're in a rebuild.
00:36They're building for the future.
00:37The Erica Hanby did earn an all-star bid this year.
00:40And Cameron Brink showed great flashes before going down with an ACL injury.
00:44So I think the future is bright there.
00:46They have Rekia Jackson was also a standout rookie,
00:48but it's going to take some time as you see with most rebuilds.
00:51And I think that's definitely reflected here for the sun.
00:54They have been one of the better teams in the league all season.
00:57And this is the equivalent of a must win because you look at the WNBA
01:00standings and teams two through five are pretty locked in.
01:03I'm only a few games separate them with a month left in the season.
01:06So the sun need to take care of business.
01:08The game is that TD guards, the first ever WNBA game at TD guard,
01:12and it's already been announced as a sellout.
01:13So I think the atmosphere and environment is going to be a lot.
01:16It's not necessarily going to be a sun home crowd,
01:18but I'm sure most of it will be cheering for the sun.
01:20So I think that'll fuel them to get a win and get back on track after losing
01:23in their last outing.
01:25All right.
01:26Plus points, another prop over on FanDuel tonight.
01:28Let's take a look at this.
01:29Gilbert, you tell me if any darts want to be thrown at any of these players
01:33tonight, Bonner is plus 168.
01:35Beyond that, it's two to one on any of the money.
01:38You know, I like this one.
01:39I like Marina Mabry actually.
01:41She's an acquisition that the sun added recently via trade.
01:44She's a knockdown shooter.
01:46I could see her getting hot and getting kind of into the emotion,
01:50the fanfare of this game and having a big night.
01:53Her and Bonner are both capable of knocking down, you know,
01:56several three-pointers, but De'Erica Hamby is also a player.
01:58She's going to have a tough time with the physical defense that Connecticut
02:01plays on the interior, but I can see her also having a big game.
02:04She is an all-star caliber player.
