Connecticut Sun at Los Angeles Sparks 5/31/19 – WNBA Pick, Preview, Prediction

The Sun have really looked impressive on the year as the offense has not hit under the 80 point mark in the first 2 games of the year. However, what else is impressive is the defense has really helped the offense out as the closest the opponent has been was 11 points and that was with Indiana coming that close to the Sun. The Sparks in their opening game ended up losing to Los Vegas by a total of 13 points in the game.  What did not really help the Sparks out was the offense was barely able to make it to the 70 point mark in the opening game.

My FREE WNBA Pick: Connecticut Sun

The Sun has been consistent on the year and unlike the Sparks are not really relying on any single player on the year for scoring. Not to mention the defense of the Suns has really been a dominant force on the season and that will definitely help the Sun out in this game as the Sparks have an offense that has not really shown up big and if the Sun are able to contain Vadeeva the Sparks will be in some serious trouble. Look for the Sun to be able to bring home a win in this game and have some decent defensive showing in this game here. Final Score, Connecticut Sun win 85-70.
