Connecticut Sun vs Los Angeles Sparks Prediction
Again, I don’t want to back the Los Angeles Sparks as much as the next guy, but the Sun have been spotty over their last handful of games. The Sun just lost to the Dream as big favorites and have failed to cover 4 of their last 6 games. Also, while the Sparks lose a lot and lose ugly, they’re 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games as a double-digit underdog. Furthermore, the Sun have failed to cover their last 3 games as a double-digit favorite and are 2-3 ATS this season as a double-digit favorite. I’ll grab the points with the Sparks.
