Los Angeles Sparks vs. Seattle Storm Prediction
I’m on the Storm in this one. I get the case to be made for the Sparks after a couple of recent wins, but I think a lot of that recent form may have influenced this line. The Storm have been really solid as a home underdog this season and I think the Storm get the job done here. Give me the Storm.
