The Los Angeles Sparks look to end a six-game losing streak when they host the Connecticut Sun on Saturday night.

Los Angeles was at least the underdog in four of those losses, but also lost twice as a 2.5-point favorite. That includes an 85-77 decision for the Sun earlier this week.

That victory was one of two for the Sun in their last five games. It doesn’t seem all that impressive, but it is, considering their 9-26 record for the season.

Let’s take a look at the odds, a player prop, and my prediction for Saturday’s WNBA matchup.

Sun vs. Sparks Best WNBA Prop Bets

Sparks Best WNBA Prop Bet

• Nneka Ogwumike OVER 24.5 Pts + Reb + Ast (-154)

Nneka Ogwumike has been stuffing the stat sheet recently for the Sparks. She’s gone OVER 24.5 PRA in five of her last six games, including 26 PRA against the Sun earlier this week.

Ogwumike is now averaging 16.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game this season. I think she’ll get to those numbers again tonight.

Sun vs. Sparks Prediction and Pick

The Sun are absolutely abysmal on the road this season at 3-14, including a 101-78 loss in Las Vegas on Thursday night.

The Sparks have a rare opportunity to beat up on an inferior opponent at home, and I think they’ll do just that against Connecticut.

Pick: Sparks -2.5 (-118)
