Kelsey Plum is the engine that drives the Los Angeles Sparks’ offense.

The WNBA’s leading scorer is averaging 25 points and six assists per game while controlling nearly every half-court possession for Los Angeles. 

But instead of attacking her scoring prop against the Seattle Storm, we’re targeting her playmaking numbers.

Read on for my Sparks vs. Storm predictions and free WNBA picks for Wednesday, June 10.

Sparks vs Storm prediction
Sparks vs Storm best bet: Kelsey Plum Over 6.5 assists (+115)

The bookmakers are completely ignoring the true engine of the Los Angeles Sparks offense, leaving Kelsey Plum’s assist line flat at 6.5 based on stale season-long models. 

Plum has been acting as the primary point distributor with 7,6,9,7,7 dimes in her last five games. She has sailed over this mark in four of her last five outings. 

Facing a gritty Seattle Storm defense focused entirely on choking off her perimeter shot, Plum will naturally turn into a high-volume playmaker. Play to +100.

The matchup history between the Sparks and the Storm tells a glaring story: they have hit the Over in nine of their last ten meetings. 

Stacking this trend with Plum pushing a furious 97.85 pace to dish over 6.5 assists makes perfect sense.

With Plum actively facilitating, Nneka Ogwumike will dominate inside against a Seattle defense that is conceding 32.6 points per game to opposing frontcourts. 

Ogwumike averages 15.5 points per game on highly efficient 53.2% shooting and boasts a versatile game built to punish the Storm down low or on the wings.
