DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas are an elite duo

No Brionna Jones? No problem. Heading into Wednesday's matchup, the Connecticut Sun knew they were possibly facing elimination on a tough road matchup at the Target Center. 14-6 on the road, the Sun faced a Minnesota Lynx team who were under .500 at home and were plagued with injuries. Without Jessica Shepard, Lindsay Allen, and Aerial Powers, Minnesota was able to secure the 82-75 game two victory over the Connecticut Sun.

With the stardom of Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner, the Sun overcame Napheesa Colliers 31 points, and defeated the Lynx 90-75. Thomas and Bonner combined for 53 points, 18 assists, 16 rebounds, three blocks, and shot 21-33. The duo made up nearly 60 percent of the team's entire offense. The Connecticut Sun, led by Stephanie White, are in their seventh straight playoff appearance, and will head to their fifth straight semifinals. The Sun lost Jones to a season ending achilles injury early in the season.

In a critical game three, Connecticut was able to capitalize on the rebounds, along with scoring domination in the paint. Alyssa Thomas set the early tone with a push back mid-range shot over rookie Diamond Miller. With eight points in the first quarter, No. 25 tied a career high with 28 points, one steal, 12 assists, and six rebounds. Through three games against the Lynx, Thomas averaged 23 points, 9.3 assists, 2.3 steals, and 5.7 rebounds.

Much like we projected, Thomas played an entire 40 minutes of basketball. While getting an early lead was important, Thomas created points off turnovers, which included assists on the outside. Her ability to distribute to her teammates was impeccable, along with her strength offensively down in the post. With a commanding 17-6 lead, DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas showed their chemistry on the court, creating opportunities for each other off the pick and roll. Below is a prime example of Alyssa Thomas strength, taking on three defenders in the paint.

DeWanna Bonner, a fourteen-year WNBA veteran, pulled a 24 foot three-point jumper with zero hesitation over Rachel Banham. Her ability to create her own shot and drain from downtown over Dorka Juhasz certainly made a statement. Similar to Thomas, Bonner finished with 25 points, three blocks, one steal, six assists, and ten rebounds. She shot 50 percent from three and had multiple key blocks. No. 24 became the third player in WNBA history to have 1,000 playoff points 500 rebounds and joins Tamika Catchings and Candace Parker on the all-time list.

Brilliant so far in the postseason, Bonner averaged 22 points, ten rebounds, 4.7 assists, and one block in three games vs. the Lynx. Bonner's athleticism was highlighted all night, as she made fadeaway jumpers, and capitalized on the fast break points off turnovers. The momentum started to shift after Bonner drained an 11-foot jump shot over Bridget Carleton at the Buzzer.

The Connecticut Sun take over early

The Minnesota Lynx had the early tempo in game two, in which they outscored the Connecticut Sun in the first half. With Lynx fans buzzing at the Target Center, it was vital for the Sun to catch an early lead. The Sun had a monster first quarter, tallying 26 points and started on a 20-6 run. By the half, Connecticut outscored Minnesota 49-34, in which they made their first three field goals, and five of their first six shots. With Collier missing her first two shots, and Minnesota missed four straight field goals, from 6:48 to 2:34 in the first quarter. Once Diamond Miller made a driving layup, Minnesota didn't make a field goal until Carleton's three-point shot around the 8-minute mark. From there, the Lynx were held to 30 points through the next two quarters.

Tyasha Harris shines as the ultimate x-factor

Tyasha Harris showed why she can be such an x-factor for this team, after being acquired by the Connecticut Sun this offseason in the Jonquel Jones trade. Struggling in game two, Harris finished with 19 points, one rebound, and one assists off the bench for Connecticut. In a vital role, the guard shot 7-11 from the field, and 4-6 from the three-point line. Through 40 games played, Harris led the WNBA in three-point percentage, which was a career-high (46.4 percent). She was excellent around screens set by Alyssa Thomas and was able to drop in the shots and layups. Her confidence was at an all-time high, as she ripped a long three-point shot over Rachel Banham.

Minnesota struggled offensively

Forward Napheesa Collier had an impressive performance, delivering 31 points on 11-19 field goal shooting. The Lynx starting four combined for only 26 points, in which they finished 43.3 percent from the field. Although the Lynx cut the deficit to one point in the third quarter, they were shutout mainly until the final quarter of the game.

Kayla McBride was a large factor in Minnesota's game two win over Connecticut. In game three, McBride struggled from the field, adding only ten points in 40 minutes. With the season on the line, Minnesota was unable to get the stops defensively, and offensively come up with a plan outside of Collier. After a first-round exit, the Lynx have a promising young team, comprised of Dorka Juhasz and Diamond Miller around Kayla McBride and Napheesa Collier.

The Connecticut Sun will face the New York Liberty in the WNBA Playoffs Semifinals. The best of five games, the Liberty will have home court advantage for the first two games. Connecticut will play New York on Sept. 24 at 1 p.m. ET, at the Barclays Center.

One team will be eliminated from the playoffs tonight

Tonight, is game three of the first-round WNBA playoffs between the Connecticut Sun (1-1, 1-1 Home)?and the?Minnesota Lynx (1-1, 1-1 Away).? After sealing a game one victory, the Lynx defeated the Sun 82-75 on the road. In a low scoring affair, Minnesota had 54 combined points from Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride. For the Sun, DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas collectively scored 50 points. Once down by sixteen points in the third quarter, Connecticut was able to capitalize off turnovers and narrow the deficit to two points in the fourth. Through 40 minutes, the Lynx dominated on the rebounds, and scoring in the paint.

Connecticut couldn't get the stops they needed in the third quarter, which gave Minnesota a majority of the momentum. Kayla McBride had seven points alone, including two looks in the paint. Collier made a statement in the first ten minutes, with 10 points. As the Sun chipped away, Collier drained a two-point shot with 2:12 to go in final regulation. Under two minutes, Connecticut was unable to exploit the opposing defense, and missed a key three-point jumper and a driving layup. In a playoff format like the first round, there's zero room for error, and we saw that with the Sun.

?In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, player prop bets, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 8 p.m. ET, at Target Center, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. ?If you're Betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, the game will air on?ESPN.?For the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is information to know.

WNBA Odds Game 3: Connecticut Sun vs. Minnesota Lynx

Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook

Alyssa Thomas O 24.5 Points & Assists

Alyssa Thomas O 14.5 Field Goal Attempts

Season Stats: PPG: 15.5 | FG: 47.4 % | 3 PT: 0 % | FT: 71.5 % | REB: 9.9 | AST: 7.9 |STL: 1.8 | BLK: 0.5

Playoff Stats:?PPG:?20.5?| FG:?51.5 %?| 3 PT:?0 %?| FT:?63.6 %?| REB:?5.5?| AST:?8?|STL:?3?| BLK:?1

If there's one player prop bet I'm confident in, it's Alyssa Thomas over points and assists. A current MVP candidate, Thomas had 26 points, and 6 assists, on 10-18 shooting, in Game two against Minnesota. Over the course of the playoffs, the Suns point forward averages over 20 points a game, and nearly six assists per game. In game one, No. 25 put up an impressive stat line, with another double-double. Through 37 minutes, Thomas added 15 points, and 10 assists on 7-15 field goal shooting. The Sun will now face the Lynx on the road, in a critical game three.

Over 24.5 points and assists hit in the first two playoff games for Thomas, and three of the last five matchups. In the month of August, Thomas hit this prop seven of eleven games. In four regular season matchups against the Lynx, the prop hit three of the four games. Thomas averaged 17.3 points, 36.6 minutes, and 10.3 assists in four games against the Lynx this year. On the road against Minnesota, No. 25 averaged 15.5 points, 34.2 minutes, and 9 assists. It's important to note, Alyssa Thomas shot 48 percent from the field, which is three percent more on the road. Last matchup, Thomas played a full 40 minutes, in which she had 18 field goal attempts. I expect her to be on the court until the very last second tonight, win or lose.

Why over points and assists will hit

In a possible elimination game, Alyssa Thomas will have the ball in her hands tonight. Last game, we saw her take control when the Sun were down points, in which the forward trekked to the free-throw line seven times. Over the course of the season, Thomas has performed consistently well against Minnesota. She had back-to-back triple doubles, a first in WNBA history, and will face a Lynx team who ranked 10th in defensive rating. Given Thomas loves driving to the hoop, the Lynx allowed the 8th most points in the paint this year (36.7).

In 40 regular season games, the All-Star averaged 15.6 points and 7.4 assists on the road. Her field goal percentage is higher on the road, along with free-throw attempts. With eight teams in the playoffs, Minnesota has the 5th worst defensive rating (107.8) and is allowing the Sun to shoot 45 percent through two matchups. She will most likely be matchup up with Napheesa Collier, who ranked in the bottom 113 in defensive rating (103.7). With Jessica Shepard out with an injury, Dorka Juhasz will have the task of guarding both Thomas and Bonner as a rookie.

In a critical game such as tonight's matchup, the ball will absolutely be in the hands of Alyssa Thomas. Not a stranger to elimination games, No. 25 thrives for these types of moments. I can't think of another player to trust in a must win game, who has several skill sets. Hiedeman, Allen, and Hayes all must step up besides Thomas and Bonner.

Why over field goal attempts will hit

With Connecticut's offensive primarily flowing through Alyssa Thomas at the point forward position, No. 25 is averaging 38.4 minutes and 16.5 field goal attempts through two playoff matchups against Minnesota. On the road, Thomas averaged only 12.5 field goal attempts on the road. That's been a different story against the Minnesota Lynx. Thomas averaged 14.5 field goal attempts in four matchups, and with elimination on the line, I expect Thomas to hit this prop, especially with the high volume of minutes played. Given she isn't a three-point threat, I expect her to find her way to the basket, especially given Minnesota was the 8th worst team against points in the paint.

Connecticut Money Line (-235)

The Minnesota Lynx forced a game three after their defeat over the Sun. Overall, Connecticut is 14-6 on the road, and the Lynx are under .500 at 9-11 at home. Even though the Sun performed inferior on the road, they had stronger numbers at the Target Center.

Despite dropping game two against Minnesota, Connecticut won the regular season series 3-1, and two of those victories came in Minneapolis. In two away games against the Lynx, the Sun averaged 89 points, 34.5 rebounds, 20.5 assists, and 39.6 percent from three. In matchups at home against Minnesota, the Sun only averaged 81 points, 33 rebounds, and 18.9 percent from the three. Yes, you read that correctly, Connecticut shot over 20 percent more efficiently from the three on Minnesota's home court.

Despite the injury to Brionna Jones, Connecticut formulated a plan and were the No. 3 seed in the WNBA. Coach of the year, Stephanie White led the Sun to 27 wins, in which they finished a top defensive team. The playoffs are completely different, and the Sun will have a tough matchup on the road, regardless of their statistics. Minnesota has key pieces around Collier and McBride, including Diamond Miller and Dorka Juhasz.

With the Connecticut Sun one year removed from the WNBA finals, I have full confidence they will win this game outright. With the season on the line, the offensive and defense will flow through Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner tonight. Connecticut was the 5th best in terms of clutch rating this season. The playoffs are all about who's peaking at the right time, and this should be a competitive matchup tonight. If Connecticut can defeat the Lynx on the rebounds, Minnesota was ranked the worst team against opponent second chance points per game (12.3).

Sara Jane Gamelli

Tonight is Game 2 of the first-round WNBA playoffs between the Connecticut Sun (1-0, 1-0 Home) and the Minnesota Lynx (0-1, 0-1 Away). The Connecticut Sun defeated the Minnesota Lynx 90-60, in game 1, in group fashion. For the Sun, they had five players with points in double figures, and 23 off the bench. Connecticut Head Coach, Stephanie White, named WNBA coach of the year, couldn't have asked better from her squad. With 30 field goal attempts, Connecticut shot 47.3 percent from the field, and over 53 percent from three. An all-around team effort, the Sun forced Minnesota to turn the basketball over 19 times and limited their ball movement to 13 assists.

For Minnesota, they struggled in several aspects. Unable to knock down shots, the Lynx were held to 35 percent field goal and 20 percent three-point shooting. Connecticut, a top defensive team, held the Lynx in check, in which they only had two players with points in double figures. Unable to secure the ball, Minnesota couldn't get any sort of momentum going. If they lose tonight, Connecticut Sun will move on. With a Lynx victory, they will force game three at home.

 In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, player prop bets, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 1 p.m. ET, at Mohegan Sun Arena, located in Uncasville, Connecticut.  If you're Betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, the game will air on ESPN. For the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is information to know.

Alyssa Thomas O 23 Points + Assists

Season Stats: PPG: 15.5 | FG: 47.4 % | 3 PT: 0 % | FT: 71.5 % | REB: 9.9 | AST: 7.9 |STL: 1.8 | BLK: 0.5

Alyssa Thomas, in her 10th season with the Connecticut Sun, found herself in the middle of the tight MVP race. Her playstyle is unique and has been fairly consistent in the regular season, into the playoffs. In the 90-60 game 1 victory against Minnesota, Thomas had 15 points, 10 assists, 5 steals, and 3 rebounds. This prop hit in six out of the last ten games, including the last matchup against the Lynx.

In five total matchups against Minnesota, including the playoffs, this prop hit four times. In the best of three games, expect Alyssa Thomas to play anywhere between 37 and 40 minutes tonight. With her ability to get to the lane, expect No. 25 to score, and dish to Bonner, Hayes, and Allen, who all had points in double figures. In the last two games, Tyasha Harris has played remarkable.

Already having back-to-back triple doubles against the Lynx this season, Thomas will look to build off that momentum here in game 2. The point forward averaged 8.5 assists at home, and 15.6 points at home. Of all players, Thomas played the greatest number of minutes in game 1 and attempted 15 field goal shots. With her volume of minutes alone, I like over 23.5 points and assists here.

Minnesota Lynx vs. Connecticut Sun 1st half points O 79.5

Game 1 of the playoffs between the Connecticut Sun and the Minnesota Lynx was an absolute defensive showdown by Connecticut. After a close first quarter, the Sun changed the narrative in the second and final quarter. Shutout 90-60, the Lynx put up 32 points by halftime, compared to the Suns 46. With all the turnovers, lack of rhythm, and shooting woes, Minnesota and Connecticut totaled 78 points in the first half.

Through 40 regular season games, the Connecticut Sun average 42.7 points in the first half, and the Minnesota Lynx 41. Collectively, this averages out to 83.7 first half points. In four season matchups between the two, Minnesota tallied an average of 38.3 points through the first half, and Connecticut, 42.3 points. In home games against the Lynx, White's squad averaged 40.5 points in the first half. Similarly, the Lynx were more efficient on road games, averaging 39 points through the first half in two games at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Why the first half over will cover

Two factors stuck out to me following the first game. Connecticut Shot incredible from downtown, and Minnesota couldn't buy a bucket. The Lynx have to find a way to get Napheesa Collier going, who was just 5-12 with 14 points. Kayla McBride finished with 16 points, however, Diamond Miller and Dorka Juhasz couldn't find their stride. Without Jessica Shepard and Lindsay Allen, the Lynx are left with less depth and offensive power. Though Minnesota hit the under in the last two matchups, they finished the season at 23-17-0 against totals.

For Connecticut, they finished the season 22-18-0 against the over/under. With elimination on the line for Minnesota, today should be a battle between the two teams. If they hit 78 combined points, with the Lynx struggling last game, I have full confidence the over first half points to hit today. Look for Minnesota to bring all of their energy, it what could be a season ending game.

Sara Jane Gamelli

Tonight is Game 1 of the first-round WNBA playoffs between the Connecticut Sun (27-13, 13-7 Home) and the Minnesota Lynx (19-21,10-10 Away). The first of three games, the Sun will look to make a trip back to the finals. 3-2 in their last five games, Connecticut will have their seven straight playoff appearance. The Minnesota Lynx, led by Napheesa Collier, will look to make a run after missing the 2022 playoffs. In the final games of the regular season, the Lynx dropped three of five.

 In this article, I will break down the WNBA betting odds, statistics, trends, odds, player prop bets, and predictions. The matchup will begin at 8 p.m. ET, at Mohegan Sun Arena, located in Uncasville, Connecticut.  If you're Betting on the WNBA and interested in watching, the game will air on ESPN2. For the best betting odds, stats and analysis, here is information to know.

WNBA Daily Odds Game 1: Connecticut Sun vs. Minnesota Lynx

Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook

Connecticut Sun -8.5 (-106)

With injuries and off-season trades, the Connecticut Sun were destined to regress. With the inconceivable play of Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner, the Sun have remained one of the most exceptional teams in the league. Prolific on defense, the Sun rank second in Defensive Rating (98.8) and lead the league in opponent points per game (79). With DiJonai Carrington as the only player listed as questionable, the Sun should have most players available this series.

Connecticut is 3-1 against Minnesota, in which the Lynx covered the spread 75 percent. As the third best team in the WNBA, Connecticut averages five more points at home (85), rebounds (34.2), assists (21.6), and steals (8.5). On their home court, the Sun shoot more efficiently in every aspect. Typically, on three days' rest, the Sun shoot close to 40 percent from three, and have a record of 3-3. Overall, Connecticut is 21-17-2 against the spread, which is over the positive mark.

In four games against Minnesota, Connecticut has one loss on their home court. In four meetings, they scored an averaged of 85 points per game, 33.8 rebounds, 22 assists, 6.8 steals, and 5.5 blocks. Additionally, they are a 46 percent field goal and 30.6 three-point shooting team against the Lynx. With a 32-point differential, they face a Minnesota team who will be without Jessica Shepard and Lindsay Allen. Although Minnesota is 21-18-1 against the spread, only six covers against the spread came against teams that are .500 or better.

Why the Sun will cover

I love that the Minnesota Lynx continue to build around Kayla McBride and Napheesa Collier. They have promising young rookies in Dorka Juhasz and Diamond Miller, who were just named to the AP All-Rookie team. With two straight losses against Indiana and Chicago to close out the season, the Lynx will face a Connecticut Sun team that is one year removed from the WNBA finals. Not able to cover the spread in the last two games, Minnesota remains inconsistent, and one of the worst defensive teams heading into the playoffs. I believe this team can be a dominant force in the league, perhaps with less injuries and more development of younger players. With the Sun well rested, I expect them to fully cover the spread at home tonight. With the departure of Curt Miller, there's a reason why Stephanie White was named AP Coach of the Year.

Alyssa Thomas 23 Points + Assists

PPG: 15.5 | FG: 47.4 % | 3 PT: 0 % | FT: 71.5 % | REB: 9.9 | AST: 7.9 |STL: 1.8 | BLK: 0.5

In the MVP conversation, Alyssa Thomas finished a brilliant 2023 season. In her MVP campaign, Thomas was named to the Associated Press First Team All-League. Through 40 games, Thomas broke the single season assist record with 316, along with several honorable accolades. The forward made WNBA history, including six triple-doubles, and 28 double-doubles. No. 25 is the first player ever with 600 points, 300 rebounds, 300 assists. In the history of the WNBA, Thomas stands among the only athlete to have back-to-back triple-doubles, and a 20 point/ 20 assist/10 rebound game. Her back-to-back triple-double game ironically was against Minnesota, twice.

Not a threat behind the perimeter, Thomas prides herself in excelling on all areas of the court. With the absence of Brionna Jones, Thomas has taken the role of point forward. In her 10th season with the Connecticut Sun, Alyssa Thomas is truly a definition of a leader, and a player who can perform everywhere on the court. A one-of-a-kind athlete, the forward shines defensively, offensively, which includes scoring, throwing dimes, and rebounding.

Why this pop will hit

In a crucial Game 1 of the WNBA playoffs, the Connecticut Sun are coming off three days' rest. This prop hit 50 percent of the season, 50 percent in the last ten games, and 75 percent of the matchups against Minnesota this season. Though over 23 points and assist hit once in the last four games, Stephanie White managed her minutes in the last home matchup versus the Chicago Sky. With DiJonai Carrington listed as questionable, look for Thomas to be the engine of this offense, especially early on. In home matchups, Thomas averages 8.5 assists per game, where on the road, No. 25 dishes out 7.4 dimes. The point forward takes 13.2 shots a game at their home court, which is almost one more attempt than on the road. Off three days of rest, the Sun star averages 15.8 points, and 8.3 assists per game.

Matchup against the Lynx

In four matchups against the Lynx, Thomas averaged 17.3 points, 13 rebounds, 10.3 assists, and 1.5 steals. On August 1, the forward became the first player in WNBA history to have back-to-back triple-doubles against the Lynx. In those two matchups, she had a combined 38 points, 34 rebounds, 23 assists, and 5 steals. Thomas played significantly superior at home against the opposition.

At Mohegan Sun Arena against the Lynx, Thomas averages 19 points, 17 rebounds, and 11.5 assists, all significantly higher than on the road. In The Suns previous regular season matchup with them, Thomas had an incredible 21 points, 20 rebounds, and 12 assists in 40 minutes. Given Connecticut is 3-1 against Minnesota, and the way No. 25 has played, it's very hard to fade this prop. Given that Minnesota ranks 10th in defensive rating, I expect Alyssa Thomas to shine in Game 1 of the playoffs tonight.

The Aces are coming off a four-game win streak against the Minnesota Lynx, Phoenix Mercury, Los Angeles Sparks, and the Seattle Storm. In their last win against the Mercury, A'ja Wilson finished with a double-double (23 points, 15 rebounds), Jackie Young with 22 points, and Kelsey Plum with 20 points. In addition, all five of the Aces starters combined for a total of 13 steals. Here are some additional betting stats:

The Minnesota Lynx have a record of 10-12, and rank 7th overall in the WNBA. Dorka Juhasz, former UConn star, had 16 points and 10 rebounds against the Sparks. In addition, All-Star Napheesa Collier had 22 points, 8 rebounds, and Diamond Miller with 13 points and 7 rebounds. Overall, the Lynx rank 8th in points per game (79.1), 11th in 3-PT percentage (31.1), 8th in offensive rating (100.1), and 10th in defensive rating (107.2).

Overall, the Aces are 3-0 against the Lynx, and Vegas had the most points scored in a game this season, and highest field goal percentage, in their previous matchup. In addition, the Aces dropped 113 points on Minnesota, and Kelsey Plum had a career-high of 40 points and 6 three-pointers made that night. In addition, Las Vegas had five players with points in double figures, in which they shot 60 percent from the field. On the contrary, Minnesota shot 56 percent from the three, 50 percent from the field, and had 6 players with points in double figures. Vegas covered the spread in all three games, including -11.5-, -17-, and -15.5-point spreads. Although Vegas didn't cover the -16.5 spread against the Mercury, I'm confident they will cover today with their head-to-head stats, and their overall dominance this year.

The Connecticut Sun are 16-6, and have the 3rd best record in the WNBA. Although Connecticut lost Brionna Jones due to an Achillies injury in late June, they have All-Stars DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas. In their last win against Atlanta, Natisha Hiedeman led the way with 24 points and 4 steals. In addition, their starters had a combined 11 steals, and four players with points in double figures. The Connecticut Sun rank 2nd in defensive rating (105.5) and hold opponents to 78.5 points per game. Here are some additional betting stats:

Media sourced from the Connecticut Sun official Twitter.

The Atlanta Dream are 12-9 and have the 5th best record in the WNBA. In their loss against the Connecticut Sun, Rhyne Howard led the way with 22 points and 3 steals. In addition, Allisha Gray had 18 points, 6 rebounds, 1 block, and Nia Coffey with 13 points and 13 rebounds.

Ironically, the last time the Connecticut Sun and Atlanta Dream matched up was two days ago. Yes, Connecticut won 2 out of 3 matchups, and the over hit 2 times as well. However, I would like to provide you with enough information that the under should hit today. The current total for this game is 168.5, which is on the higher side. In their first matchup, the over hit, however, the game totaled 166 points. The second matchup hit the over with 180, HOWEVER, that game went into overtime. Connecticut has one of the best defenses in the WNBA, and unless this game goes into overtime, I don't like the over. Furthermore, their average point totals in their last 10 matchups is 159 points.

The Dallas Wings are 12-9 and have the 4th best record in the WNBA. In fact, Dallas is coming off a four-game win streak, in which they won the spread 3 out of the 4 games. The Wins are 3rd in total offensive rating (106.4), 1st in offensive rebounds (11.9), and 4th in points per game (85.4). In their impressive win against the New York Liberty, the Wings put 98 total points. All-Star Satou Sabally, Arike Ogunbowale, along with Teaira McCowan and Natasha Howard. In their last game against the Sparks, all four players had points in double figures, and McCowan had a double-double, with 15 points and 12 rebounds. Here are some additional betting stats:

Betting Stats:

  • The Dallas Wings are 4-0 in their last 4 games.
  • Los Angeles Sparks are 0-7 in their last 7 games.

  • The Wings O/U is 3-7 in the last 10 games.
  • The Sparks O/U is 5-5 in the last 10 games.
  • Dallas ATS won last 10 games: New York (+7.5), Minnesota (-2.5), Las Vegas (+9.5), Las Vegas (+12), Washington (-6.5), Phoenix (-4), Atlanta (-3.5).
  • LA ATS won last 10 games: Dallas (+3), Dallas (+3).

Head-to-head stats: Sparks vs. Wings

  • The LA Sparks are 3-0 ATS vs. the Dallas Wings this season.
  • The LA Sparks are 3-0 against the Dallas Wings this season.
  • In 3 Games vs the Wings, the Sparks won spreads: +3, +3, +5.5.
  • Game Points (AVG) last 10 matchups: 166
  • Sparks average points vs. Wings last 10 games: 81.
  • Wings average points vs. Sparks last 10 games: 84.
  • Sparks average points last 10 games: 75.
  • Wings average points last 10 games: 85.

*Media sourced from the Official Dallas Wings Twitter*

The Los Angeles Sparks are 7-14, and are riding a 7-game losing streak, in which they are 0-6-1 ATS. LA has been hit with injuries, and rank 10th in points per game (78.1), 11th in rebounds (32.7), and 10th in offensive efficiency (98). The Sparks last game against the Minnesota Lynx was a push, in which the Lynx were initially favored by -3. All-Star Nneka Ogwumike had her usual game, with 19 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 steals. Jordin Canada added 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 block, while Layshia Clarendon added 11 points.

Oddly enough the Sparks only have 7 wins, and 3 of them have come against the Dallas Wings. In fact, LA covered the spread in all three games. Whether this was pure luck, or the Sparks completely figured out the Wings gameplan, I am not sticking with the LA to cover for the fourth straight game. LA is on a 7-game skid and hasn't covered any spread since June 25th. In addition, Dallas is on a four-game win streak, and covered the spread against the the Aces (twice), and the Liberty, who are the top two teams in the league. It's important to note, Dallas covered both a +9.5 and +12 spread against the top team, the Aces.
