The marketplace has been betting this total down. It's low enough now for me to get involved in the Over. 

These teams opened the season against each other on May 18. Washington won, 90-85. That's a combined 175 points.

So what has happened lately? 

The Sun are showing offensive improvement. If you discount a beatdown they suffered against the defending champion and best team in the league, Liberty, they are averaging 85.3 points in their last three games. Connecticut just played its best game of the season, beating the Dream, 84-76, two days ago. 

The Mystics are an up-tempo team. They haven't played good defense, giving up 86, 85 and 85 points during their past three games. They aren't shooting well either. That should change here, though, as Connecticut ranks 10th in scoring defense, last in defensive field goal percentage and second-to-last in 3-point defensive percentage.
