Sun vs. Sparks By the Numbers
New York Liberty will aim for its 30th win of the season when the Liberty take on the Dallas Wings.
The Wings have gone 7-10 in home games. Dallas is the top team in the Western Conference averaging 40.4 points in the paint. Natasha Howard leads the Wings scoring 10.9.
The Liberty have gone 13-4 away from home. New York leads the Eastern Conference scoring 85.3 points per game while shooting 44.7%.
Dallas makes 44.6% of its shots from the field this season, which is 2.4 percentage points higher than New York has allowed to its opponents (42.2%). New York averages 85.3 points per game, 5.8 fewer points than the 91.1 Dallas allows to opponents.
The teams meet for the third time this season. In the last meeting on Aug. 22 the Liberty won 79-71 led by 19 points from Breanna Stewart, while Arike Ogunbowale scored 19 points for the Wings.
Sun vs. Sparks Prediction
Take Derica Hamby to fall under 7.5 in rebounds. Hamby recorded more than seven rebounds just once over her last five games. That was a September 1 matchup versus Atlanta when she recorded nine rebounds. Otherwise, she finished with exactly seven rebounds in three of her last five games and only nabbed four boards at Chicago last Friday. Given how strong the Sun are defensively, I don’t see Hamby being active enough on the boards to grab over 7.5 rebounds.
Sun vs. Sparks WNBA Prediction: Dearica Hamby under 7.5 Rebounds (-122)
