The Chicago Sky are probably the hottest team in the league right now, and their offense is downright scary at the moment. The Los Angeles Sparks have looked awful in their last 2 efforts and their defense leaves a lot to be desired, which is scary when going up against a team like the Sky. When these teams met about 3 weeks ago, the Sky won 82-59 on the road. I'd need more points to consider the Sparks in this contest. Give me the Sky and the reasonable chalk.
Randy’s Pick Chicago Sky -4.5
