Connecticut Sun vs. Los Angeles Sparks
September 9, 2021 10:30 pm EDT

The Los Angeles Sparks and Connecticut Sun face off on Thursday in a WNBA basketball showdown at Staples Center. These two teams have faced off twice so far this season and the Sparks have won each of the two games. 

The Connecticut Sun has been lights out this season sitting with a 22-6 record overall. The Sun are playing some really good basketball right now having won eight games in a row and the last game might have been the most dominating. The Sun’s defense locked down against the Dallas Wings giving up only 56 points, and that led to the blowout victory. The Sun on the season are averaging 79.2 points per game while their defense is giving up 70.7 points per game. Jonquel Jones has been the best player for the Sun averaging 19.9 points while shooting 52.8 percent from the field and 37.8 percent from behind the three-point line. 


On the other side of this matchup is the Los Angeles Sparks who sit with a 10-18 record overall which puts them in sixth place in the Western Conference. The Sparks have lost five games in a row and the offense has been a big issue. In the Sparks last game against the Minnesota Lynx, the Sparks only scored 57 points including in the 4th quarter when they scored only four points. The Sparks on the season are averaging 72.6 points per game while their defense is giving up 78 points per game. Nneka Ogwumie has been the best player for the Sparks averaging 14.2 points while shooting 54.1 percent from the field. 

The Sparks offense is really struggling, and the Sun are coming off a game where they gave up only 56 points against the Dallas Wings. Look for the Sun’s offense to be strong, and Connecticut will come away with the cover of the spread.
