Total: 168.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Loss
Worried about the Sparks scoring enough points for this one to go Over? Don't be. The Sparks go from playing the best defensive team in the WNBA, Minnesota, to facing the worst, Dallas.
The Wings rank last in scoring defense and defensive field goal percentage. Dallas has permitted at least 92 points in seven of its last nine games. The Over has cashed in eight of those nine games.
Sparked by the late-June signing of veteran guard Odyssey Sims, the Wings are averaging 87.5 points in their last four games. Sims is averaging 19.3 points and 5.3 assists in her last three games as she gets more acclimated to her new team.
These are the two worst teams in the Western Conference. The Sparks are 5-17. Dallas is 5-18. So this should be a loose, up-tempo game where scoring more than defense is emphasized.
