SUN VS SPARKS PREDICTIONS, PICKS & ODDS FOR TONIGHT'S WNBA GAME

The Connecticut Sun and Los Angeles Sparks, two of the WNBA's bottom-three teams, face off Sunday in their first matchup this season, with predictions highlighting scoring props and a favorable spread for the visiting Sun.

Tina Charles is projected to exceed 15.5 points, supported by her recent offensive surge—scoring 20 and 29 points in the last two games while taking 40 shots and 18 free throws. This aligns with the Sparks' defensive struggles: they allow the league's second-highest points per game (87.2), second-worst field goal percentage (44.9%), and third-most points in the paint (37.1), creating ideal conditions for Charles' interior dominance.

Additional predictions include Kelsey Plum surpassing 18.5 points, bolstered by her 20.9-point home average at crypto.com Arena, and the Sun covering the +11.5 spread. Team statistics reveal both franchises' defensive woes: the Sun hold the worst defensive rating while the Sparks rank last overall. Connecticut is 3-17 straight up but 9-11 against the spread, including six covers in their last 10 games. Conversely, the Sparks are 6-14 straight up and 0-3 ATS in recent home games.

Historical trends heavily favor Connecticut, who have won the last 10 head-to-head meetings. Injury reports note absences for the Sun's Marina Mabrey and the Sparks' Cameron Brink.
