New York Liberty vs. Los Angeles Sparks Prediction
I’m on the over here. I think the Liberty score at will as the Sparks are still one of the WNBA’s least imposing defenses this season. However, I’m not trying to lay this kind of number with New York on the road as the Liberty continue to battle injuries, have sleepwalked through games in certain spots where they should coast, and have had a tendency to let teams hang around often this season. I think this ends up being a high-scoring game so give me the over here.
