Los Angeles Sparks vs. New York Liberty Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Sparks and the points. I don’t love it because the Sparks have been one of the most underwhelming teams in baseball this season, if not the most underwhelming, and this just is not a number I’m looking to lay with a Liberty team that’s failed to cover in 7 straight games, and I think the Sparks at least keep it respectable. Give me the points.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Los Angeles +10.5
