Sparks vs Dream Prediction
The Dream have caught fire during this road trip, and Angel Reese is playing some of the best ball of her life right now. The Sparks don’t play a lick of defense, and we just saw them lose at home a few days ago to this Dream team by 36 points. The Dream are 8-0 SU and 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games against the Sparks. This is a lot of points for a road team, but the Dream are rolling, and the Sparks have yet to prove they can string together decent showings. I expect the Dream to win by double digits.
