Sparks vs Storm Prediction
This is an awful game to bet on as the Sparks haven’t played since June 27 and still won’t have Brink or Plum. The Sparks have also struggled at home. However, the Storm haven’t won on the road in two months and just lost at home to Portland as a 4.5-point favorite. Even without two of their best players, the Sparks have the rest advantage, home court, and probably the best player on the floor in Ogwumike. The Sparks simply can’t afford to blow this game if they’re serious about staying in the playoff conversation. The line isn’t crazy. I’ll lay the points with the Sparks.
