Sparks vs Sun Predictions
The Stank:
The Connecticut Sun should come into Tuesday night’s game fired up and ready to roll over the Sparks after their embarrassing double-digit loss to the Atlanta Dream on Sunday as 8.5-point favorites. They’re one of the top teams in the WNBA and shouldn’t be getting taken down by one of the league’s bottom feeders.
With that being said: Mercury moneyline on Wednesday against Atlanta is the play.

I believe the Sun’s loss to Atlanta was a fluke as they were still adjusting to new roles and teammates, especially with former Sky guard Marina Mabrey adding depth to their already strong roster. They’re still finding their groove after the Olympic break.
The Sparks rank in the bottom four for both offense and defense, while the Sun boast one of the best defenses in the league. I don’t see the Sparks causing any trouble for the Sun. Los Angeles has been blown out in two of their three games back from the break, both losses coming against the Liberty and Aces, the league’s top teams.
I’m all in on the Sun.
Prediction: Sun win & Cover
Pick: Sun (-13.5) (-110)
