Prop Bets: Chicago Sky VS Los Angeles Sparks 2025-06-29
WNBA Showdown: Chicago Sky vs. LA Sparks – A Tale of Injuries, Legacy, and Over/Unders
The Setup:
The Chicago Sky (4-11) roll into Crypto.com Arena on a four-game road trip, nursing injuries to stars Kamilla Cardoso (national team duty) and Courtney Vandersloot (ACL). The LA Sparks (5-11), meanwhile, host their first home game in four tries and aim to honor Candace Parker’s jersey retirement with a win. But let’s be real—this game is less about bragging rights and more about the Sky trying not to lose by 20.
The Odds:
- Moneyline: LA Sparks -128, Chicago Sky +250
- Spread: LA -8.5 (-110), Chicago +8.5 (-110)
- Total: 167.5 points (Over/Under: -110 each)
Key Props to Watch:
- Angel Reese (Chicago): Over/Under 24.5 combined points/rebounds (FanDuel). She’s the only reason the Sky’s offense isn’t a slow go.
- Azurá Stevens (LA): Over/Under 13.5 points (DraftKings). She dropped a season-high 23 last game; can she keep the party going?
- Kelsey Plum’s Assists: Over/Under 4.5 (-145/Over, +120/Under on FanDuel). Let’s see if she dishing out dimes or daydreaming about Parker’s legacy.
The Prediction:
The Sparks are favored, but the Sky’s injuries make this a “pick ‘em” with a spread that’s basically a math test. Expect a low-scoring affair (Under 167.5) as both teams’ lineups resemble a “Where’s Waldo?” of missing players.
- LA Sparks Win (-128): They’ll likely secure the victory to honor Parker, but don’t expect a blowout. Azurá Stevens and Dearica Hamby will carry the load, while Kelsey Plum avoids a triple-double by focusing on assists.
- Chicago Sky Cover +8.5: The Sky’s young core (Reese, Onyenwere) will fight, but expect a 90-82 loss. Angel Reese will flirt with the 24.5 prop, but the Sky’s offense will sputter like a Prius on empty.
Final Score Prediction: LA Sparks 85, Chicago Sky 77.
Bonus Prop Bet (for fun): Will the Sparks’ bench outscore the Sky’s? Over 10 points (-150). Probably not, but it’s a free bet.
Why Trust Me? I didn’t, so I checked the odds. And they’re even worse than my dating profile.
