ASA WNBA play on OVER 161.5 Seattle Storm at LA Sparks, 3:30 PM ET - Our model is projecting over 170 total points in this game between a pair of Western Conference rivals in the Storm and Sparks. Seattle is one of the faster paced teams in the W at 97.95 possessions per game and they will want to dictate tempo. The Sparks are in the bottom half of the league at 96.31 possessions per game, but they’ll be forced into trying to keep up, much like they did in the previous meeting. In mid-June these teams met in Seattle which resulted in 174 total points being scored. LA attempted 69 field goals in that game which is five more than their season average. Seattle will again put up a big number here against this Sparks defense that is last in the league in opponents FG% (45.3%) and 11th in 3PT% defense. The Sparks rank 10th in Defensive Net Rating this season at 105.4 but have been even worse in their last team game rating 108.3. Seattle has the 4thbest Offensive Net Rating on the season and rank 5th in Offensive Efficiency. The Storm have faced some of the league’s better defenses in recent games and have still averaged 84PPG over their last five games. Granted, it won’t be an easy task for the Sparks to score against a Storm defense that is one of the best in the league, but we just need them to get to 78-points which they’ve done in 7 of their last eight games. Bet this one OVER the Total!
