Valkyries vs Sparks Prediction
The Valkyries are a good team at home and are attractive as an underdog, but they’ve lost six of their last 10 games and can really stink it up defensively. The Sparks are as healthy as they’ve been all year, and it’s led to wins in eight of their last nine games. The Sparks are as hot as any team in the league and aren’t a team I’m excited to step in front of. The line is more than reasonable. I’m riding the hot hand with the Sparks.
