Key Storylines
- Seattle’s Confusing Play: The Storm handed the Lynx their first defeat 94–84 of the season two games ago. They followed that up with a loss to the expansion Golden State Valkyries, underlining a lack of consistency from the Storm.
- Kelsey Plum spotlight: Plum dropped 20 points in L.A.’s 101–78 loss to Minnesota and remains their key offensive catalyst.
- Injury report: Seattle continues without Katie Lou Samuelson (knee) ,and the Sparks are missing Cameron Brink, Julie Allemand, and Rae Burrell.
- Cup implications: The Sparks have already been eliminated from Commissioner’s Cup contention, but the Storm are a game back of the Minnesota Lynx for first place in the Western Conference, making this a must-win for Seattle’s cup hopes.
Head-to-Head & Betting Trends
- This is the first time these two teams will play this season as part of a four-game regular season series.
- Seattle is 6–5 against the spread this season. The Sparks have struggled at 5–7 ATS in what has been a disappointing year for them thus far.
- Los Angeles is 7-4-1 to the over so far this year. Given that they have lost two-thirds of their games this season, that speaks to a lack of defensive fortitude in LA.
- Seattle has gone 5-6 on totals this year, with the majority of their games landing under their respective totals.
Best Player Props to Watch
| Player | Prop | Analysis |
|---|---|---|
| Kelsey Plum | Over 19.5 points | Plum is the focal point of L.A.’s offense and hit 20 last time out against the Lynx. She should be in line to exceed this number again. |
| Nneka Ogwumike | Over 16.5 points | Ogwumike scored just six points against the Valkyries last time out and will likely see higher usage against the Sparks. |
Advanced Metrics & Trends
