The Los Angeles Sparks (13-15) have won seven of their last eight games, and that's a big reason that my Sun vs. Sparks prediction includes them rolling over the Connecticut Sun (5-23) tonight. Tipoff from Crypto.com Arena is set for 10 p.m. ET.

The Sparks' recent hot run has pushed them into contention in the latest WNBA championship odds, and they're double-digit betting favorites across our best sports betting sites.

The Sparks have climbed their way back into playoff contention during this recent run. They trail the final postseason spot by one game with a little over a month to play.

If the Sparks are serious about their playoff aspirations, they won’t lose to the Sun at home.

💸 Parlay: Sparks ML & Over 172.5 ⭐⭐⭐

📊 Best odds: +110 via FanDuel ($10 to win $11)


When first-half lines become available, I’ll be interested in backing the Sparks at -7 or better. The Sun have a first-half net rating of -17.8, which is the worst in the league by eight points.

However, based on the initial lines, I like backing the Sparks' moneyline value and Over 172.5 as a plus-money parlay. This market is available in FanDuel’s total parlays section of the game.

The logic behind this pick is straightforward. 

Los Angeles should win this game, and there always seems to be points scored when it plays well. The Sparks have scored 100-plus points in four of their past five games, a stretch that started with their 101-86 win over the Sun.

Getting a +110 value on points being scored in a Los Angeles victory feels like a bargain to me.

If the Sparks are going to pour it on during their win, Kelsey Plum has to have a big game. She’s averaged 20.4 points per contest this season, clearing this scoring prop in four of her past five outings.

Plum dropped 30 against the Sun last time out. She will thrive against inferior competition.
