Los Angeles Sparks vs. Washington Mystics Prediction

I’m on the Sparks in this one. I think Los Angeles has started to find some confidence after their back-to-back wins and I think this is a Sparks team that’s a lot more attractive in the underdog role when catching points. Washington’s a team I have trouble buying into to win games offensively this season and I think Los Angeles takes care of business in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Los Angeles +2.5
