Indiana Fever (+108) at Los Angeles Sparks (-132) | O/U 179.5 (-108/-112)
The Fever (21-18) and Sparks (17-19) meet at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles in the second end of the doubleheader.
L.A. has won and covered all three of the meetings this season, while cashing the over in two. L.A. is 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS in the past five in the series, while covering seven of the past eight meetings since July 27th, 2023.
In the most recent meeting on August 5th, the Sparks rolled up a 100-91 victory. L.A. shot 56.1% (37-of-66) and 50% (13-of-26) from behind the three-point line, while cashing in at an 86.7% clip (13-of-15) from the free-throw line. Kelsey Plum and Rickea Jackson each paced the team with 25 points, and both players were 3-of-5 from downtown. Plum also added 11 assists for the double-double, while Azura Stevens was an impressive 7-of-8 from the field, hitting all five of her shots from beyond the arc. She finished with 19 points, while also adding a pair of blocked shots.
The Fever hit 44.2% (34-of-77) from the field and 36.4% (12-of-33) from distance. Indiana turned it over just four times. However, it was -5 in the rebounding category. Kelsey Mitchell tore it up with 34 points, including seven made threes. Natasha Howard had 17 points, Aliyah Boston had 15 points and nine boards, while Aari McDonald had 15 points. She has since suffered an injury, and we won’t see her in this one, nor will Sophie Cunningham play after scoring eight points in 26 minutes in the last meeting.
Indiana had just two points off the bench, as Damiris Dantas was the only scorer on 1-of-4 shooting in six minutes. The Fever was 1-of-11 (9.1%) from the field off the bench.
Indiana is too banged up, while L.A. has dominated this series. Take the Sparks and the over, and feel confident in doing so.
Picks: Sparks -1.5 (-114) & Over 179.5 Points (-108)
