Prop Bets: Connecticut Sun VS Los Angeles Sparks 2025-07-13
WNBA Showdown: Connecticut Sun vs. Los Angeles Sparks – A Tale of Two Teams (and a Few Prop Bets to Boot)
The Connecticut Sun are about to visit the Los Angeles Sparks, and let’s just say this matchup is as exciting as watching a home game for the Sparks—which, by the way, they’ve lost 8 straight at home this season. The Sun, meanwhile, have a 10-game winning streak in this rivalry, which feels less like basketball and more like a horror movie for L.A. fans.
The Key Stat: Tina Charles of the Sun is averaging 24.5 points over her last two games and is a -110 favorite to go over 16.5 points tonight. If you’re betting on her, you’re basically just betting she doesn’t get ejected for laughing at the Sparks’ defense.
The Prop to Steal: Kelsey Plum (Sparks) is a -130 favorite to score over 18.5 points, which is about what you’d expect if she were paid by the bucket. She’s also -130 to rack up over 5.5 assists, so if you’re feeling spicy, you could argue she’ll run the court like a one-woman highlight reel.
The Spread: The Sparks are favored by 10.5 points, but the Sun are a solid +10.5 underdog at 5-to-1 odds. That feels like the sportsbook is saying, “Sure, the Sparks are technically better, but we’re not paying you enough to bet on this.”
The Over/Under: The total is set at 164.5 points (-110). With Plum and Charles both cooking, this game could blow right past that number. The news even suggests a same-game parlay: bet on Plum’s points and the over. If you’re into risk, go for it—but maybe save some cash for the postgame ice cream.
The Dark Horse: Don’t sleep on Rickea Jackson (Sun) at -140 to go over 12.5 points. She’s the kind of player who’ll quietly drop 15 while everyone’s watching the stars.
Final Verdict: This is a pick’em game in all but name. The Sparks’ “double-digit favorite” is about as reliable as a sieve, and the Sun’s Tina Charles is primed to embarrass the L.A. defense. My advice? Bet on the over, stack a parlay with Plum and Charles, and hope someone gets a technical foul just for fun.
And if the Sparks win? Remind them they’re only 10-5 on the season—same record as a team that just… exists. 🏀🔥
