Los Angeles Sparks vs Atlanta Dream Prediction
The Atlanta Dream should be favored because they’ll have the best player on the floor, and they’re the healthier team. I don’t want to back the Sparks as much as the next guy. The Sparks get rocked more times than not, and they’re the most banged up team in the league. With all that said, I’m not laying chalk with a Dream team that’s lost 4 straight overall, 8 straight on the road and is the worst offensive team in the WNBA. On the road?! No, thanks. It’s the Sparks and the points or pass for me.
