Randy’s Pick
The Los Angeles Sparks are getting the benefit of the doubt here because they’re at home, but I’m not laying chalk with a team that’s lost 8 straight contests. The Sparks haven’t won a game since June 25, which is exactly a month ago. The Fever aren’t playing a lot better, but they have been able to sprinkle in a recent win, and they’ve had covering success, especially on the road. If forced to pick this game, I want the free bucket in my pocket.
