Teams Preview
Connecticut Suns Preview
In their recent outing, the Connecticut Sun showed resilience but ultimately fell 82-75 to the New York Liberty. The Sun competed well for stretches, but their offense struggled to maintain consistency against New York’s defensive pressure.
Olivia Nelson Ododa was a major bright spot, recording 21 points and 10 rebounds, while Charlisse Leger Walker added 14 points, Diamond Miller (12 points) and Leila Lacan added 10 points, 6 assists, but their efforts weren't enough.
Offensively, the Sun’s just shot 35.8% from the field, including a poor 27.6% from the three point line. Defensively, they managed to control the boards 35-30, but failed to capitalize on it. The team did record 7 blocks, 4 steals, but key defensive lapses and 10 turnovers proved costly down the line.
The loss officially eliminated the Connecticut Sun from 2026 playoff contention. They fell to 8-25, ensuring they will miss the postseason for a second straight year. Overall, the team averages 75 points per game, while dishing out 17 assists. Defensively, they record 34 rebounds and allow opponents to just 78.5 points per game.
Los Angeles Sparks Preview
The Los Angeles Sparks suffered a disappointing 80-70 loss to the Washington Mystics, extending their difficult run with a fourth consecutive defeat. Los Angeles competed strongly through three quarters and held a six point advantage in the fourth, but their execution collapsed when the game mattered most.
Rae Burrell led the scoring with 20 points, while Nneka Ogwumike added 15 points and 7 rebounds. Dearica Hamby chipped in 11 points and 7 rebounds.
Offensively, the Sparks shot 39.3% from the field, including 34.6% from the perimeter and 81.3% from the free throw line. Defensively, they got outrebounded 43-27 on the boards, recording just 3 offensive rebounds. They also had turnover issues (14), giving away possession multiple times and committed 18 fouls.
The defeat highlighted Los Angeles recurring fourth quarter struggles and inability to close games. With their season slipping away, improving late game discipline and defensive consistency must become priorities.

Winning PredictionThe Sparks have the slight edge despite their recent struggles, particularly after Connecticut’s playoff elimination. Connecticut can keep it close behind Olivia Nelson Ododa’s interior presence, but I expect the Sparks to pull away late. We are backing the Los Angeles Sparks to win this matchup.
