WNBA Prediction: Los Angeles Sparks at Washington Mystics
By Nick Lagouretos
Bngthebook.com

Two teams sitting on the second place of their respective conference are clashing tonight, when the Washington Mystics (16-10), looking to return to extend their winning streak and return to the top of the East, are hosting the defending champions Los Angeles Sparks (19-8 ).

Washington Mystics have a 16-10 record so far this season (14-12 ATS) and currently sit in the second place of the East. They have won five of their last six matches and in their last game they won at home against Indiana with a 100-80 score. Elena Delle Donne leads the team in scoring with 18.8 ppg, 6.5 rebounds and 1.6 blocks but she is still out with an injury. Emma Messeman adds 13.6 ppg and 5.5 rpg, while Tayler Hill adds 13.3 ppg.

Los Angeles Sparks have a 19-8 record (15-12 ATS) and currently sit on the second place of the West and of the whole league. They are currently on a mini slump, having lost two of their last three matches and in their last game they lost on the road against New York with an 83-69 score. Nneka Ogwumike leads the team in scoring with 18.7 ppg, adding 7.7 rebounds per game. She is followed by Candace Parker with 16.6 ppg, adding team highs both in rebounds, with 8.4 per game, and assists, with 4.3 per game.

This will be the third meeting between those two teams this season, with Los Angeles having won both previous games at home. Washington are 10-2 at home, while Los Angeles are 7-7 on the road. Both teams score exactly the same point per game (82.7), while Los Angeles are better defensively, allowing a second-best 76.8 ppg to Washington’s third-best of 79. Los Angeles have better percentages both in field goals, shooting with a second-best 47.3% to Washington’s 41.9% (third-worse), and in 3-pointers, shooting with 33.6% to Washington’s 32.3%. They are also better in assists made, with 17.7 to Washington’s 16.7 (third-worse), while Mystics lead the league in turnovers committed (12 to 13.4), and grab more rebounds, with a second-best 36.7 to Sparks’ second-worse of 30.5. Sparks are in a slump right now and Mystics are too good at home even without Delle Donne to not take advantage of that, so pick Washington tonight.

WNBA Prediction: Minnesota Lynx at Seattle Storm
By Nick Lagouretos
Bngthebook.com

Two Western Conference squads sitting on opposite sides of the league table are clashing, when the struggling Seattle Storm (11-16), looking to turn their latest victory into a streak, are hosting the league leaders of Minnesota Lynx (21-4), who seem to be struggling lately as well.

Seattle Storm have a 11-16 record (11-15-1 ATS) and currently sit on the second to last place of the West. In their last game they snapped a four-game losing streak by winning on the road against Phoenix with an 89-98 score. Breanna Stewart leads the team in scoring with 20.4 ppg, adding a team high 8.5 rebounds per game. She is followed by Jewell Loyd with 17.3 ppg, 3.3 rpg and 3.5 assists, while Crystal Langhorne adds 12.5 ppg and 6 rpg.

Minnesota Lynx have the best record currently in the league with 21-4 (13-10-2) and they seem to be struggling for the first time this season, having lost two of their last three matches. In their last game they lost at home against Los Angeles with a 64-70 score. Sylvia Fowles leads the team in scoring with 20.5 ppg, adding team highs both in rebounds, with 10.1 per game, and in blocks with 2.1 per game. She is followed by Maya Moore with 16.8 ppg, adding 5.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists.

This will be the third meeting between those two teams this season, with Minnesota having won both previous games. Seattle are 8-6 at home, while Minnesota are 10-2 on the road. Minnesota are better both offensively, scoring a third-best 85.3 ppg to Seattle’s 82.2, and defensively, allowing a league-best 75.8 ppg to Seattle’s 83.3. Seattle have the best field goal percentage in the league with 47.5 while Minnesota are slightly behind with a third-best 47.3%, and they also have a better 3-point percentage, shooting with a third-best 36.8% to Minnesota’s 35.2%. Lynx lead the league in assists made with 20.5 to Storm’s 19.6 (third-best), they are better in rebounding, grabbing 35 to Storm’s 30.6 (third-worse) and commit less turnovers (14.6 to 14.9). Minnesota are currently on a mini slump so expect a closer game than 8 points. Pick Seattle in this one.
