Sparks vs Wings Preview, Betting Analysis
Los Angeles has dropped eight of the nine games it has played in The team’s only win during that time in the end coming against Dallas.
The Sparks’ poor luck started with Azura Stevens hurt her arm. She missed almost 2 months during the regular season because of this injury. After that, things went in a negative direction after Cameron Brinks tore her ACL in mid-June.
It’s been a downhill slope from there. The team is 11th in net scoring and 11th in turnover percentage 10th in field-goal percentage. They rank 11th in opposition points in the paint and 11th in opposing scoring field goals.
In reality, the most that Los Angeles has done at an average level during this season was rebounding the ball.
This has been a gruelling year for the Wings which has been stricken with injuries following a shaky 22-18 season in the previous season.
The Wings were without the reigning WNBA first-teamer and Most Improved Award winner, Satou Sabally, for all of the season. Sabally returned on August 16 and has appeared in just three games so far.
Sabally has displayed very little rust in spite of missing a considerable length of. In reality, she’s scored an average of 18, 6.7 rebound, as well as 5.3 aids on 44.2 percent shot from the floor during her three first games back.
Sabally’s presence eases burden off the four-time WNBA All-Star guard Arike Ogunbowale. The Nigerian has been forced to carry the burden of the Wings all offense.
My Sparks vs Wings Prediction
Sparks vs Wings Best Bet
Although Los Angeles did secure a 6-point victory when the two teams last played There were some outliers and injuries that were involved. One of them was that Ogunwale played an all-time terrible performance in that game shooting 2-for-15 from floor. Ogunbowale hasn’t been an extremely efficient player this year however, she’s been a All-Star in the WNBA for the last four seasons. This kind of shooting performance is not likely to repeat.
She’ll also be playing against a team that ranks 10th in defensive ratings and 11th in scoring field goals. Yes, the Wings defense is more shaky however they shouldn’t be having any problems against an opponent who, with the exception from Dearica Hambry, is virtually none offensive players.
The biggest difference between the last match and the one that is taking place this time around is the fact that Sabally is available. Sabally was fifth in MVP awards last year, however, he was absent for the entirety of the season, until he returned after the Olympic break.
In the end it’s a good thing that this Dallas offense is going to knock through the Sparks off the stadium.
