Kelsey Plum and the Los Angeles Sparks have shaken off a slow start to the 2026 season and are over .500 (7-6) heading into a Commissioner\u2019s Cup matchup with the Golden State Valkyries on Monday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Golden State (8-5) is tied in Commissioner\u2019s Cup play with the Sparks (both teams are 3-2), and both teams enter this game on winning streaks.<\/p>\n

The Valkyries have cooled off after a fast start to 2026, but they still have the fourth-best net rating in the league.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Sparks have done most of their damage on the road, going 5-1 in six games. Despite that, they\u2019re underdogs in this matchup in Golden State.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Can Plum and company pull off an upset and move up even further in the Western Conference standings?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the odds, a player prop to bet and my prediction or Monday\u2019s Commissioner\u2019s Cup clash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kelsey Plum missed some time with an ankle injury earlier this season, but she\u2019s been a terrific playmaker for the Sparks when she\u2019s been in the lineup.<\/p>\n

Plum is averaging 6.9 assists per game, picking up six or more dimes in eight of her 10 appearances, which happen to be her last eight games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Valkyries are just eighth in the league in opponent assists per game, and Plum has a huge workload on offense for L.A. on a nightly basis. I think this prop is mispriced with the line at 5.5 on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sparks vs. Valkyries Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n

Earlier today, I shared in my WNBA Best Bets column \u2013 Peter\u2019s Points<\/a> \u2013 why the Sparks are a solid bet on the road:<\/p>\n

The Sparks are one of the best road teams in the WNBA this season, going 5-1 straight up and 4-2 against the spread.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Valkyries are under .500 against the spread at home and overall this season, seeing their net rating dip from No. 2 to No. 4 in the league despite a two-game winning streak.<\/p>\n

The Sparks have won three games in a row, jumping to third in the WNBA in offensive rating and eighth in net rating. They still are the worst defensive team in the W (15th in defensive rating), but Los Angeles can score with anyone.<\/p>\n

I think that gives it a chance to hang around against the Valkyries, and I\u2019m shocked this line has moved from 3.5 to 5.5 on Monday night, as the Sparks have a clean injury report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll take the points in this matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pick: Sparks +5.5 (-118 at DraftKings)<\/a><\/p>\n
