Over 167.5 Total Points (-106)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
The Sparks and Mystics are set for a high-scoring game at Crypto.com Arena, with both teams having some key trends. The Mystics have been on a roll, winning 7 of their last 10 games, while the Sparks have struggled a bit, winning only 3 of their last 10. However, the Sparks allow a good number of three-point attempts, which could lead to a lot of scoring opportunities for the Mystics.
Even with the Sparks' shaky recent form, their games tend to be high-scoring. The total points line is set at 167.5, and our numbers suggest they could combine for around 170 points. The biggest risk here is that the Sparks have been giving up quite a few rebounds, which might limit their scoring chances, but we still think these two teams can push the total over. It was priced at -106 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.40 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
Los Angeles Sparks +6 on the Line (-120)
Odds available at Fanatics at time of publishing
The Washington Mystics have been on a roll, winning 7 out of their last 10 games, while the Los Angeles Sparks have only taken 3 of their last 10. The Sparks also give up a lot of rebounds, averaging 35.2 per game, which might hurt their chances against a strong Mystics team. However, the Sparks are at home and the game is expected to be very close, almost like a coin flip. Betting on the Sparks to cover a spread of 6 points could pay off, but keep in mind that both teams are pretty evenly matched, and the Mystics are hitting their stride. It was priced at -120 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $18.30 if it lands. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled. This is an alternate line, so it is not the main number on the board and the price moves with it. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
That is how our model reads Los Angeles Sparks v Washington Mystics. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
