Two of the bottom three teams in the WNBA face off on Sunday evening as the Connecticut Sun visit the Los Angeles Sparks for the first head-to-head meeting of the season.
My Sun vs. Sparks predictions and WNBA picks target scoring props from two veterans and a burgeoning spread that favors the visiting team.
Sun vs Sparks predictions
My Sun vs Sparks best bet: Tina Charles Over 15.5 points (-120 at bet365)
Tina Charles has been locked in offensively across her last two games, dropping 20 and 29 points while playing 35 minutes in each contest. In that pair of contests, the veteran attempted 40 total shots and 18 free throws.
The Los Angeles Sparks have allowed the second-most points per game this season at 87.2, and they’ve allowed opponents to shoot 44.9% from the field, good for the second-highest efficiency. Los Angeles’s defensive rating is also second-worst at 108.3.
Charles leads the Connecticut Sun in scoring this season at 15.7 points per game, and she’s done the majority of her work down low and at the free throw line. She can take advantage of a Sparks interior defense that’s allowed the third-most points in the paint (37.1) and the third-most second-chance points (11.7).
Connecticut’s future Hall-of-Famer has grabbed at least 10 boards in each of her last two games, and her strong scoring and high number of free throw attempts showcases her recent aggression in the paint. Expect her heater to continue in this favorable road matchup.
