Sparks at Sun picks and predictions
Prediction
Sun 82, Sparks 73
Moneyline
Connecticut (-1250) will cost you nearly 13 times your potential return, and that’s way too risky for not nearly enough reward. Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, there is never a good reason to bet such a heavy favorite.
PASS.
Against the spread
LOS ANGELES +13 (-110) is worth a look as a double-digit underdog in this road battle.
In the 1st meeting, the Sparks played the Sun -13 (-110) tough at Mohegan Sun Arena. Los Angeles lost 79-70, but covered as a 13.5-point underdog.
The Sparks are 6-2 ATS in the past 8 games as a double-digit underdog, including that matchup with the Sun.
Connecticut is just 2-4 ATS in the past 6 outings, and it is 0-5 ATS in the past 5 games when favored by 8 or more points.
Over/Under
UNDER 155.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.
The Over is 3-1 in the past 4 games for the Sun, but 2-2 in the past 4 outings at home, including an Under result against Los Angeles in that span.
The Under has cashed in 3 straight outings on the road for the Sparks, while going 13-8 in the past 21 games.
