The Connecticut Sun did not begin the 2022 WNBA season the way they would have liked, dropping a two-point decision to the New York Liberty. Things have gone much better for the team since, however, as it has won four consecutive contests - all by at least nine points. The Sun (4-1) look to extend their winning streak when they host the Dallas Wings (4-2) on Tuesday. Connecticut is an 8.5-point favorite in the latest WNBA odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over-under for total points scored is 159.
Tip-off at Mohegan Sun Arena is set for 7 p.m. ET. The game is one of four on the WNBA schedule for Tuesday. Elsewhere in the league, the Washington Mystics host the Atlanta Dream at 7 p.m. ET, the Indiana Fever visit the Chicago Sky at 8 p.m. ET and the Minnesota Lynx host the New York Liberty at 8 p.m. ET. Caesars lists Washington at -8.5, Chicago at -13.5 and Minnesota at -5. The four-game slate provides numerous options for bettors, and combining selections in a parlay can earn much bigger payouts.

Top WNBA picks and parlays for Tuesday
One of the WNBA picks the experts love for Tuesday: Over 160.5 in the game between New York and Minnesota (see tickets at StubHub). The Lynx (1-6) saw just one of their first four games of the season exceed this number, but each of their last three contests have accomplished the feat. They have scored at least 78 points in four straight outings thanks in part to the addition of guard Moriah Jefferson, who has averaged 15.5 since joining the team on May 13.
Center Sylvia Fowles leads Minnesota with an average of 17.9 points and has scored 20 or more in three of her seven contests. New York is paced offensively by Sabrina Ionescu, who is producing 15.4 points per game. The 24-year-old guard, who is 16 points shy of 500 for her career, is looking to bounce back from a loss to Connecticut in which she scored only two points in 24 minutes.
"Minnesota's offense has looked entirely different since signing Moriah Jefferson to handle the point-guard duties," the experts told SportsLine. "Playing their first game in a week, the Liberty should have had plenty of time to both recharge and work out some of the kinks that have plagued them during their losing streak."
