Liberty vs Sparks Prediction
The Liberty are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’re the more talented team and the Sparks have been awful this season. However, the Liberty are in a slump and have really had issues since the injury to Jones. The Liberty are also 8-17 ATS in their last 25 games as a double-digit favorite. The Sparks injury report is also a lot shorter than it’s been in the past, so maybe reinforcements are on the way. Still, the Liberty aren’t a team you should be excited to back in the massive favorite role given their current form. Give me the Sparks and the points.
