Los Angeles Sparks Betting Preview 

The Los Angeles Sparks need a win after losing 9 of their last 11 games. The Sparks are a game behind the Sky for the last playoff spot. The Los Angeles Sparks are averaging 78.5 points on 42.4 percent shooting and allowing 81.9 points on 46.3 percent shooting. Nneka Ogwumike is averaging 19.9 points and 2.7 assists, while Jordin Canada is averaging 13.6 points and 3.2 rebounds.

The Los Angeles Sparks are allowing 32.7 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 31.6 rebounds per game.

Trends

The Liberty are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Sparks are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 Tuesday games and 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The over is 6-2 in Liberty last 8 overall. The under is 4-1 in Sparks last 5 overall. The Liberty are 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Los Angeles and 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Randy’s Pick

You’re never sure which Los Angeles Sparks side is going to show up, as they’ve been competitive at times, and then they get smoked in other efforts. More times than not, the Sparks are getting waxed defensively and aren’t covering numbers despite being big underdogs nightly. That’s why I have to lean toward the Liberty in another comfortable victory, similar to what happened on Sunday. Give me the Liberty and the chalk.
