Sun vs. Sparks Preview
Despite being next-to-last in the Western Conference, the Sparks are clear favorites against the worst team in the WNBA this season.
This pick also catches Los Angeles on the upside, as it has won its last two games against the Seattle Storm and the Indiana Fever. A better approach than the moneyline would be playing the spread at a higher value.
The Sparks defeated the Sun in their two matchups this season. On July 13, they beat them 92-88, and two weeks later, they won again, 101-86. With a 10.5 line tonight, that recent margin would easily cover the spread.
Kelsey Plum leads Los Angeles in points (20.4) and assists (6.2). The team has no injury concerns for tonight.
Meanwhile, the Sun have lost two in a row, which is a recurrent issue for a team with a 5-23 record. More importantly, they were defeated by margins of nine and 16 points in those games.
The Sun have Bria Hartley listed as questionable for tonight's game due to illness.
