Looking at the matchup between the Connecticut Sun and the Los Angeles Sparks, it's clear that this isn't going to be a mere tea party.
On the Sun's side, we've got Tina Charles and Marina Mabrey. Charles has proved herself a consistent threat on the court, delivering 15.0 points per game last month. As for Mabrey, well, she's been dropping handsome numbers too, with an average of 11.0 dunks per game last month. But let's not forget about the Sparks. They're loaded with raw talent in figures like Kelsey Plum and Dearica Hamby, both posting robust stats for this season and particularly in the last month.
And would you look at the past matches? The Sun have been shining away like a hot summer's day each time they've met the Sparks. Sounds like deja vu, doesn't it? However, considering the current season records, both teams could do with a bit more luster. The Sun, with their 3-17 win-loss ratio while the Sparks are slightly better at 6-14.
Recently, the Sun haven’t been too favoured by the celestial bodies with outcomes that steer more towards the losing side. The Sparks aren't exactly setting the world on fire either. Somewhat of a lukewarm situation, if you ask me.
Now the position in standings is another story. Sparks are ranked #11 in WNBA while the Sun are two slots behind at #13.
So, giving my verdict here, I foresee a somewhat predictable outcome.
