Shane’s Free Pick
The Dream’s offense struggled in the last game but now they get to face off against a Sparks team has struggled to defend this season. They have also really struggled to slowdown the Dream and that is going to be the difference here as Atlanta is going to have no issue getting the job done. The Sparks just aren’t going to be keeping here. Back the Dream against the spread.
