The Sparks are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

While both teams are falling apart at the worst possible time, it's the Los Angeles Sparks who are probably in worse shape, especially with the departure of Liz Cambage. Even with the Sparks still in a potential playoff spot, their outlook moving forward isn't that great. At least the New York Liberty have won 2 of their last 3 tries, and they continue to compete on the defensive side of the ball. We can't say the same for the Sparks. At home, I'll lay the reasonable chalk with the Liberty.
