- Analysis
- My selection is on Connecticut plus the points over Los Angeles at 7 pm et on Thursday.
While Connecticut has been one of the league's worst teams this season it has also proven to be a highly profitable bet going. back to mid-June. The Sun check in 8-4 ATS since June 17th and enter Thursday's matchup with Los Angeles riding a four-game ATS winning streak. That streak included a loss but cover against these same Sparks in Los Angeles on July 13th. The Sparks are riding a three-game winning streak - their longest of the season. Prior to their current stretch they hadn't strung together consecutive victories all season. Off an 'upset' win in Washington two nights ago, I look for them to have a difficult time winning by margin on Thursday. Note that the Sparks remain vulnerable defensively having allowed seven straight and 16 of their last 19 opponents to connect on 30+ field goals. Meanwhile, Connecticut has knocked down 30+ field goals in three of its last four contests. On the flip side, the Sun have held two of their last three foes to fewer than 30 made field goals. While the Sparks glance ahead at a more difficult matchup in New York on Saturday, Connecticut gets two days off before continuing its six-game homestand against Golden State on Sunday. We'll grab all the points we can get in this spot. Take Connecticut (8*).
