New York Liberty vs Los Angeles Sparks Prediction
Again, the Los Angeles Sparks are god awful, especially on the road, and now they’re banged up. I don’t want to back the Sparks as much as the next guy. However, the Liberty have some injuries of their own and despite all their wins they’re just 6-10 ATS on the year. The Sparks have covered 5 straight games against the Liberty, which includes a cover when these teams met a couple of days ago. The Liberty are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games as a double-digit favorite, and that includes 1-8 this season. Weird start time that sometimes leads to sluggish play. Like the first meeting, give me the Sparks and the boatload of points.
