SPARKS VS LIBERTY PREDICTIONS, PICKS & ODDS FOR TONIGHT’S WNBA GAME

The New York Liberty host the Los Angeles Sparks at Barclays Center tonight in a matchup anticipated to be high-scoring.

Analyst Naessens predicts Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu will continue her strong performance and score more than 18.5 points, which would be the 11th time this season she surpasses 19 points. This expectation is based on Ionescu thriving in fast-paced games like the one expected against the up-tempo Sparks, and her ability to exploit weak defenses. The Sparks commit the second-most turnovers per game (16) and allow the second-most made three-pointers per game (9.1), contributing to their high points allowed (87 per game). Ionescu, averaging 18 points per game this season, is seen as well-positioned to capitalize on these defensive weaknesses at home.

Additional prop bets highlighted include Kelsey Plum (Sparks' leading scorer at 20 ppg and top playmaker at 6 APG) exceeding 26.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists, leveraging her scoring, playmaking, and average of 3.1 rebounds. Azurá Stevens is predicted to make 3 or more three-pointers, supported by her league-leading three-point percentage (41%) and her recent performance (3+ threes in 4 of her last 7 games), facing a Liberty defense that allows forwards like her to average 3.5 made threes per game.
