Sparks and Dream Have Top Two Defenses in WNBA
The Atlanta Dream and the Los Angeles Sparks will meet on Tuesday when they battle at STAPLES Center. This is a matchup of the No. 2 team in the WNBA vs. the No. 3 team. The game will showcase two of the best defenses in the league. It will also have two of the best players in Candace Parker and Tiffany Hayes. The second-place Dream (15-9) will be looking to stay ahead of the third-place Sparks. The Sparks (14-10) will be looking to make it two straight since losing to Indiana, the league’s worst team. Atlanta has won seven straight and is 8-2 in its past 10 games. Los Angeles is only 4-6. The Sparks and Dream have played once this season. On June 12, Parker scored 19 and Nneka Ogwumike posted a double-double (18 points, 11 rebounds) in a 72-64 Los Angeles win. Oddsmakers have the Sparks as 4-point favorites. The total is at 156.Sparks Looking to Get Back on Track With Winning Streak
The Sparks were a 93-76 winner in their most recent outing on the road against the Sky. They covered the -3.5-point spread as favorites. The total score (169) made winners of OVER bettors. Ogwumike did not dress in Los Angeles’ win over Chicago. It was the second straight game she has missed. Defensive specialist Alana Beard also did not play because of groin injury. It’s uncertain if either will be able to play Wednesday. Odyssey Sims hobbled off the court in the waning moments and her status is in limbo as well. The Sparks sit second in the league in defense, allowing 77.4 points per game. The Sparks average 79.8, eighth best in the WNBA.Dream Look to Keep Solid Season Going
The Dream continued their improbable season on Sunday with an impressive 87-74 road win over Western Conference leader Seattle. They covered the +2.5-point spread as underdogs. The total score of 161 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window. Elizabeth Williams scored a season-high 17 points to lead the Dream. All-Star Hayes and Angel McCoughtry added 16 points. The turning point in the Dream’s season might have come during the road trip that ended with the loss to the Sparks. The loss dropped Atlanta to 5-4. Since then Atlanta has gone 10-5 and is in the thick of playing for a first-round bye in the playoffs. The Dream are third in the WNBA in defense at 78.9 points per game. The Dream average only 79.2 points per game, ninth best in the league. Hayes led Atlanta to a 3-0 record last week. She ranked second in the conference in scoring at 18.0 points per game to go with 4.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.Recent Form
