Los Angeles Sparks vs. Seattle Storm Prediction
I’m leaning towards the over here. I wanted to take the points with the Sparks, but the Sparks really disappointed by failing to show up with their “effort” against the Aces and are still one of the more underwhelming teams in the WNBA this season. The thing is both of these teams can still score and defense can be optional in these games between these two teams so give me the over in this game.
