The Los Angeles Sparks (14-16) have turned their season around and are in the mix to acquire a playoff spot. Their scoring unit has been second to none, but a 59-72 loss against the Golden State Valkyries showcased their vulnerabilities.
They will take on the Seattle Storm (16-15), who have lost the plot. The Storm are now on a four-game losing streak.
Their troubles are bamboozling because the All-Star trio has had health on their side. Can the Sparks prolong their misery? Find my favorite Same Game Parlay here.
Plum has been an exquisite scorer this season. The Sparks guard is averaging an astounding 20.4 PPG on a 41.1% clip. She scored 4 and 18 in the game before.
Plum had put up 20 or more in five straight games in the preceding window. I expect her to recover that form and slide in at least 16 points
Plum O 15.5 Points
Diggins is one of the most creative scorers in the league with brilliant hang time. Her scoring average is 16.1 PPG on a decent 42.2% shooting. However, her returns have been way too slim at times.
The guard has put up 13 or fewer points in four of the last five games. I believe the Seattle guard will bounce back and score at least 13 here.
Diggins O 12.5 Points
Here is an overview of the selections:
| Picks | BetMGM Odds |
| Plum O 15.5 Points | Undefined (Projected -140) |
| Diggins O 12.5 Points | Undefined (Projected -130) |
| Stevens O 1.5 3-Pointers | Undefined (Projected -110) |
| Spread: Storm -4.5 | -105 |
Stevens has become one of the most reliable stretch-four/five players in the league. Stevens has averaged 14.5 PPG and knocked down a career-high 1.9 triples per game on an excellent 41% shooting.
But she has knocked down 1 or fewer in four of the last six games. However, I see her knocking down at least 2 in this match.
Stevens O 1.5 3-Pointers
WNBA SGP: Plum O 15.5 Points, Diggins O 12.5 Points, Stevens O 1.5 for +230 at BetMGM
The Sparks are in a much better form than Seattle. However, two factors work against them. Seattle will be desperate to take advantage of the situation.
Overall, I’d back Seattle to win this game and cover the spread.
Storm vs Sparks Spread: Storm -4.5 for -115 at BetMGM

nba 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!
