Los Angeles vs Seattle – WNBA Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Spread: Seattle -4.5 | Total: 169.0
Seattle Storm Outlook
The Storm (16-11) return to their home court looking energized after a 2–1 road trip. Seattle lit it up offensively, scoring 196 combined points in wins over Chicago and Connecticut. But a humbling 58-point showing in D.C. reminded everyone they’re not bulletproof.
Skylar Diggins-Smith stole the show in the Storm’s last outing, logging her first-ever triple-double. That all-around effort helped Seattle dominate the rebounding battle, something that’s been a season-long concern, as they allow nearly 36 rebounds per game.
Despite that flaw, Seattle has shown they can bounce back fast, especially when they win the battle on the glass and push the tempo. With the playoffs in view, expect them to keep the foot on the gas.
Player Prop Pick (SEA): Skylar Diggins-Smith Over 5.5 Assists – She’s dialed in and running the offense like a seasoned floor general.
Los Angeles Sparks Outlook
Don’t look now, but the Sparks (11-15) are alive. LA had a five-game win streak snapped by Las Vegas, but this team suddenly looks like a legit threat to sneak into the postseason. Offense has led the charge—92+ points in each win during the streak.
Kelsey Plum continues to carry the scoring load at 20.2 PPG, but the big story is rookie Cameron Brink’s return. The No. 2 pick made an immediate splash offensively and could be a game-changer if she’s anywhere near full strength.
LA is still one of the worst rebounding teams in the league, but if they can keep the pace high, they can hang around in this one.
Player Prop Pick (LA): Kelsey Plum Over 17.5 Points – She’s been cooking, and with Brink drawing attention inside, the lanes should be wide open.
Prediction & Betting Outlook
Seattle is more balanced and deeper, especially at home. Los Angeles is fun and fast, but their lack of size and consistency on the boards could cost them late.
Bet accordingly, gamblers. Momentum matters, but matchups win games.

Toral: Over 169.0
