Following a confidence-boosting win against the Lynx in Minnesota, the Los Angeles Sparks enter their next game facing Golden State with momentum on their side. Both teams have been averaging high point totals in recent matches, making the Over 169.5 points market particularly attractive for bettors. The main recommendation is to back a high-scoring game, based on current form and offensive output.

Match Preview 


Golden State Valkyries are tagged as favorites after starting the month with three straight victories, but it would be unwise to underestimate Los Angeles Sparks, who just took down Minnesota Lynx on the road. 

Hosts Looking to Continue Their Run 


Golden State Valkyries are on course to make their first WNBA playoff appearance, entering this match in 3rd place in the overall standings with a 22-9 record. 

Their form in late July was mixed, suffering narrow defeats to Washington Mystics 90-82 and Phoenix Mercury 91-89, but they started August with a commanding 96-79 home victory over Toronto Tempo. 

Golden State made it two wins in a row earlier this week by beating Toronto once again at home 92-82. Janelle Salaun was named player of the match with 21 points on 8/12 FG shooting. 

The Valkyries delivered one of their best road performances of the season two nights ago against Dallas Wings, taking a convincing 94-76 win in Texas. Veronica Burton was the standout performer this time with 22 points, seven assists and four rebounds. 

Sparks Coming off Big Victory


Los Angeles Sparks have struggled throughout the season and remain well outside the playoff picture with a 12-19 record, needing a remarkable run to get back into contention. 

Speaking of their August form, the Californian side has had decent results, starting with a 106-101 road win against Portland Fire, then standing shoulder to shoulder against Chicago in Illinois but ultimately losing 95-88. 

Los Angeles Sparks were tagged massive underdogs in their most recent appearance at prime title contenders Minnesota Lynx but pulled off a surprising 89-82 victory after fantastic defense in the final quarter (23-11). Dearica Hamby was the standout performer with 16 points and nine rebounds (7/9 FG shooting).

Verdict

Los Angeles Sparks enter this match in high spirits after taking down the Lynx in Minnesota. They average a lot of points recently, as do Golden State, so Over 169.5 points looks like the best bet.
