Los Angeles at Tulsa

Premium Pick

There should be no shortage of points in Tulsa tonight as the Los Angeles Sparks will be in town. The Sparks have been the most disappointing team in the WNBA this season as many felt they had the tools to compete with Minnesota, but they have started at a woeful 5-8 on the season and sit in a spot at the bottom of the standings, which has typically been reserved for Tulsa. Tulsa has turned up the volume on offense as their young and talented guard tandom of Diggins and Simms has grown quickly. The Shock have topped the century mark in their last two games and will continue to keep the pedal to the metal tonight vs. a Los Angeles team that can score, but refuses to commit to the defensive end. The Sparks position in the Western Conference basement is well earned as they allow just shy of 80 points per game. Tulsa comes out of the gate flying, and in their last six games the combined first half points by their opponents and them, has been 80 or more in every game. And two of those six games were vs. this same Los Angeles team. Tulsa is under the radar, as for the first time since moving from Detroit they have won six of their last eight games. Tulsa is also 15-6 ATS in their last 21 after a win as this team continues to grow. The Sparks are just 5-15-1 ATS following a spread win in their last 21, are now 0-6 ATS following a straight up win in their last six, and they are just 1-8 ATS in their last nine in Tulsa. Tulsa is now the better team. Make the play on Tulsa on the moneyline and the First Half OVER the Total.
