After a 14-point road loss to the Indiana Fever, the New York Liberty will look to get back on track when the Los Angeles Sparks visit Barclays Center.
Nneka Ogwumike has been great against the Liberty, and she’ll continue to shine against New York’s floundering defense.
Read on in my free Sparks vs. Liberty predictions and WNBA picks to see why Ogwumike & Co. are in line for big games on Thursday, Aug. 13.
Sparks vs Liberty prediction
Sparks vs Liberty best bet: Nneka Ogwumike Over 16.5 points (-110)
Los Angeles Sparks forward Nneka Ogwumike has hit her scoring Over in nine of 15 road games and 18 of 31 overall, including six of her last 10.
She finished with 21 and 24, respectively, in two matchups with the New York Liberty, and she’s scored 17+ in four of her last five in this matchup, dating back to last season.
Ogwumike is shooting 40% from beyond the arc, and N.Y. has allowed the highest 3-point percentage and second-most triples.
In a high-scoring and favorable matchup with a familiar opponent, I’ll bet on another strong scoring night, playable to 19.5.
COVERS INTEL: Over the last 10, New York has surrendered 22.6 points and 2.5 triples on 49% shooting from the field and 41.6% from downtown to opposing centers — all Bottom-5 marks.
Sparks vs Liberty same-game parlay
Over the last 10 games, the Liberty and Sparks rank in the Bottom 4 in points, FG% surrendered, and defensive rating, and Top 5 in pace. The Over has hit in four straight and nine of the last 10 H2H matchups, and I’ll bet this one up to 189.5.
The Liberty own a pitiful 13-19 against-the-spread record, including going 2-8 ATS across their last 10, while Los Angeles has covered in four of its last six. The Sparks are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 matchups with the Liberty. Play down to 5.5.
