Los Angeles Sparks vs Connecticut Sun Total Over/Under Prediction- WNBA Best Bets

The Sparks have the best offense in the league currently. LA has scored 100 or more in four of the last five games. Defensively, they have conceded 88 or more regularly, so LA games end up being high-scoring.

Meanwhile, the Sun struggles to score at a high clip. They have scored fewer than 80 in three straight games, a familiar occurrence this season. Their defense has been slightly better. Overall, this can be another high-scoring affair

Total: Over 175.5 for -110 at BetMGM

Here is an overview of my selections

Los Angeles Sparks vs Connecticut Sun Player Props Predictions- WNBA Betting Picks

Dearica Hamby O 16.5 Points: Hamby is averaging 17.6 PPG, scoring 17 or more in six of the last eight games. I expect her to put up 17 again at least. 

Marina Mabrey O 1.5 3-pointers: Mabrey is struggling from deep range but has knocked down 2 triples in four of the last six games. I see her converting at least 2 3-pointers there.

Kelsey Plum O 5.5 Assists: Plum is an excellent playmaker, dishing out 7.6 APG over the last six games. I see her delivering at least 7 helpers here.

Main pick: Kelsey Plum O 5.5 Assists for -125  at BetMGM

Los Angeles Sparks vs Connecticut Sun Spread Prediction

The Sparks are in great touch. They have won seven of the last eight games. The Sun, on the other hand, hasn’t even won seven games for the season. LA has an abysmal record at home, but a team like Sun shouldn’t bother them much.

The Sparks are finally realizing their potential, and their defense can improve more with Cameron Brink’s return. I expect the Sparks to cover the spread.

Spread/Money Line Pick:  Spread: Sparks -9.5 for -110 at BetMGM

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
