Los Angeles Sparks

Backing the Sparks to win in each 2026 road game made 4.1 units; the same bet in Los Angeles lost 4.83. One night carried the road: an 89-82 win at Minnesota at +950.

Better on the road

A 16-28 team that paid away from home? The Sparks did. Away they went 8-14, and backing them to win all 22 of those games made 4.1 units. At home they went 8-13 and the same bet lost 4.83, the fourth-worst home return in the WNBA. One more game, at a neutral site, sits in neither column.

Two road wins at long prices returned more than that whole 4.1: 101-95 at the Las Vegas Aces at +330 on 23 May, getting 9.5 points, and the August night below.

The +950 night

On 6 August the Sparks won 89-82 at the Minnesota Lynx, getting 16.5 points and +950. That one game returned 9.5 units, and the three Minnesota meetings together 7.5. August finished 5-8 and 5.43 units up, with 8 covers in 13.

Points, not wins

As underdogs, 29 games, they won 8 and covered 17, 58.6%; only three teams covered more often getting points. As favorites, 15 games, they covered 6, 40%, and the Toronto Tempo beat them 106-96 in Los Angeles with the Sparks at -325. July showed the gap at its widest: 2-7 straight up and 4.23 units lost, but 6 covers in 9. With this team, take the points and leave the price.

Opponents and the total

The Portland Fire lost all three meetings to Los Angeles, each a Sparks cover, for 2.02 units. Toronto covered all three against them. The Washington Mystics lost two of three to the Sparks, and backing Los Angeles in that series made 1.9 units.

The Sparks allowed 91.32 points a game, second-most in the league behind Toronto, and scored 87.05. Their totals split 23 over and 21 under: nothing for us to lean on. Their one overtime game was a 111-102 win at Phoenix.
