Greetings, basketball fans. Welcome back to our WNBA coverage here at Total Apex Sports. One of the games on tap from today’s slate features the Dallas Wings (6-22 SU, 9-19 ATS) hosting the LA Sparks (6-23 SU, 13-14-1 ATS).
First, we have a Dallas Wings squad that has struggled this season. After dropping 16 of its first 21 contests, the Wings have suffered six losses across their last seven games. This includes a three-game losing streak following the midseason break.
On the other hand, the LA Sparks have also had a brutal 2024 campaign. Following a 6-17 start, they enter this matchup on a six-game losing skid, with their most recent loss coming at the hands of the Connecticut Sun (80-74) on Friday night. Given that the teams have combined for nine straight losses between them, both squads desperately need a victory.
Now that we have set the stage for this WNBA matchup, let’s dive into the betting trends for both teams.
