WNBA Predictions & Preview For Wednesday, August 20th

Dallas Wings vs Los Angeles Sparks

Start Time: 10:00 PM EST

For most of the season, the Los Angeles Sparks have been improbably struggling at home. Their record on their crypto.com Arena home floor is 6-10 for the season, while their record away from home is 10-8. Strange. But they have won five of their last seven in La La Land, so maybe things have finally started to revert to the mean.

They should be able to add another home win on Wednesday night with the Dallas Wings in town. The Wings are only 4-13 on the road, will be without the injured four-time All-Star Arike Ogunbowale, and have dropped both their games against the Sparks this season. Dallas has lost two out of three, including their last two games, since Ogunbowale got sidelined with knee tendinitis.

My line for this game, assuming both teams were at full strength, is Los Angeles -6.5. I’m taking a chance on the Sparks covering over the depleted Wings roster.

Best Bet: Los Angeles -8 (-110)

Overall Record: 50-52 (49%)
Profit (based on $100/bet): -($613.59)
Return on Investment: -6%
