Hamby scores 24 points as Sparks down Aces
Dearica Hamby scored 28 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, Aari McDonald hit four 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 23 points and the Los Angeles Sparks beat the Las Vegas Aces 98-93 in overtime Friday night to snap a franchise record-tying eight-game losing streak.
The Sparks (5-15) won for the first time since a 96-92 win over the Aces on June 9.
Talbot found Hamby for a layup that tied it with 2:07 to play and then found Layshia Clarendon for a jumper that gave L.A. a 92-90 lead with 1:14 remaining. Chelsea Gray missed a 3-point shot on the other end before Talbot once again fed Hamby, who was fouled as she made a layup an hit the and=1 free throw to make it 95-90 with 25 seconds to go.
Mercury vs. Sparks Prediction
Take Dearica Hamby over 10.5 in rebounds. With the odds for this prop sitting at just -102, there’s a ton of value when it comes to this play. Hamby nabbed 14 rebounds in the team’s 98-93 overtime win over the Aces on Friday and another 11 boards in the Sparks’ 82-80 loss to the Mystics last Tuesday. While she did play a fair amount of minutes in each game (37 apiece), Hamby should still be plenty active for the Sparks tonight.
Mercury vs. Sparks WNBA Prediction: Dearica Hamby over 10.5 Rebounds
