The WNBA's emphasis on Sunday nights this season benefits all of us tonight, as the Los Angeles Sparks are set to entertain against the Portland Fire as 7.5-point favorites.
My Fire vs. Sparks predictions and these WNBA picks fully expect fireworks at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, June 7, with Kelsey Plum doing the lighting.
Fire vs Sparks prediction
Fire vs Sparks best bet: Kelsey Plum Over 20.5 points (-125)
Kelsey Plum’s ankle injury may have been to our benefit. After starting the season scoring 25+ in five of six games and averaging 26.8 points, there was worry Plum’s sprained ankle could cost her weeks. Instead, she returned in less than two weeks and scored 27 points on Friday.
Oddsmakers may momentarily doubt her health. There’s no other reason to keep this prop this low. Perhaps 23.5 would be cautious, though 24.5 feels earned.
The Los Angeles Sparks’ superstar’s scoring isn’t dependent on the opponent, but it should relish the Portland Fire’s defense, No. 12 in rating.
COVERS INTEL: The Sparks combine the WNBA’s worst defensive rating with the No. 3 pace, making points an absolute necessity.
Fire vs Sparks same-game parlay
When Plum returned to the lineup on Friday, there was some quick laughter the default bet on an Over in a Sparks game returned with her. It should not have been heard as a joke.
In Plum’s seven games, Los Angeles has cashed six Overs. Without her, two Unders cashed in three games.
That is not inherently a criticism of Plum’s defense. It is an acknowledgment of how vital her offense is to the Sparks keeping up with opponents, as they give up open buckets defensively.
With the league’s second-highest opposing assist totals, someone on the Fire should benefit, Carla Leite the leading contender.
