Portland Fire vs. Los Angeles Sparks Prediction
I’m on Portland and the points here. I just don’t see anything that suggests that the Sparks should be this heavily favored in this game. I get that the Sparks are the healthier team now that they have Kelsey Plum back, but that just makes them overvalued again for me as the Sparks have been one of the worst home teams in the WNBA and home favorites in the WNBA for some time. Give me Portland and the points in this one.
