Sparks vs Fire Prediction
I want nothing to do with a side in this game. The Sparks can’t win at home and don’t play a lick of defense. However, we just saw the Fire lose at home to a bad Mercury team that didn’t have Kahleah Copper or Alyssa Thomas. Disgusting. I’m looking at the over. The Sparks trade buckets with everybody they play, and the over has hit in 7 of their last 10 games. I’ll bank on points in this game as neither team is doing it for me right now.
