Connecticut Sun vs Los Angeles Sparks Prediction
A line of 12.5 points is quite steep, and the Sparks have covered 5 of their last 7 games as double-digit underdogs. However, the Sparks have also been horrible on the road this season, and they’re just not good offensively to trust against good teams. The Connecticut Sun have won 10 straight games against the Sparks and have covered 9 of those games. The Sun are not only 12-1 SU, but they’ve covered 5 of their last 6 games. The Sun have also covered 4 straight games as double-digit favorites, which includes two covers this year. Again, big number, but there’s a lot of history suggesting this is a comfortable home win for the Sun. I’ll lay the 12.5 points.
