Playoff implications are on the line when the Connecticut Sun visit the Los Angeles Sparks at 10:30 p.m. ET on Thursday. Check the Sun vs Sparks Betting Trends below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WNBA betting trends <\/a>show the Sun are 19-15 against the spread and 18-15-1 on over\/unders. Meanwhile, the Sparks are 16-18 against the spread and 20-14 on over\/unders.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The oddsmakers favor the Sun by 11 points with an over\/under of 162.5 points. The Sun moneyline is a whopping -735 to the Sparks\u2019 +495, a remarkable number if they were able to break through for a big win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WNBA picks <\/a>data show the Sparks are the betting favorite against the spread, with 51% of public bets siding with Los Angeles. Then 61% of public bets are on the over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two teams played on Tuesday, with the Sun cruising to a wire-to-wire 97-71 win. Jonquel Jones had 21 points and ten rebounds<\/strong>, leading the Sun, who had five players in double figures. Connecticut converted 51% of shots from the field and 42% of 3-point attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sparks were led by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n They converted 46% of field goal attempts and 40% of 3-pointers but turned it over 20 times and were outrebounded 40-23. It\u2019s a series that has been dominated by the Sun of late. Connecticut has won the last five of its meetings with the Sparks against the spread in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sun are also 10-1 against the spread across the last 11 meetings. Straight up, though, the Sun have won six straight with their last loss at home on Aug. 28, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The under is 10-1 in the last 11 meetings in Los Angeles and 10-2 in the last 12 meetings regardless of location. This season the over\/under is 1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sun have been dominant all season,<\/strong> ranking third offensively and defensively. The Sun averaged 85.4 points per game with the second-best shooting percentage (45.9%) in the league and third-best 3-point shooting percentage (35.5%) league-wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Defensively the Sun give up 77.9 points per game. Though teams have success on the interior with a 43.9% field goal percentage allowed, they tighten it up on the perimeter, holding teams to the second-best 3-point rate of 32.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Connecticut also has the second-best rebounding numbers (37.0 per game) and the fewest rebounds (29.1) per game allowed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sparks haven\u2019t done a whole lot of great things this season yet find themselves in a league that is so tight at the bottom of the standings. It got worse when star center Liz Cambage left the team in late July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Los Angeles is ninth offensively, scoring 79.5 points per game. They are fifth in field goal percentage at 44.7% but are the worst 3-point shooting team at 32.1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite having key frontcourt members, they are the worst rebounding <\/strong>team and are only grabbing 30.8 boards per contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Defensively they are the second worst team, allowing 85.5 points per game. They have the second worst field goal percentage against (46.0%) and the worst 3-point field goal percentage against (37.4%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n If Tuesday was any indication of how things will go, the Sun are appropriately 11-point favorites, and the -735 on the moneyline (meaning a $735 bet would profit $100) is more than fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Things have only gotten worse for the sparks in the past two weeks after they were a legitimate playoff threat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Losing Cambage and the unknown status of Chimey Ogwumike (questionable, face, but played on Tuesday) really hinder their talent if she can\u2019t go<\/strong>. At +495, oddsmakers recognize it\u2019s a big ask for the Sparks to pull off an upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WNBA betting trends show the Sun are 19-15 against the spread and 18-15-1 on over\/unders. Meanwhile, the Sparks are 16-18 against the spread and 20-14 on over\/unders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The oddsmakers favor the Sun by 11 points with an over\/under of 162.5 points. The Sun moneyline is a whopping -735 to the Sparks\u2019 +495, a remarkable number if they were able to break through for a big win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WNBA picks data show the Sparks are the betting favorite against the spread, with 51% of public bets siding with Los Angeles.
