Randy’s Pick

The Los Angeles Sparks continue to have issues finishing games, and it’s getting tougher to back them with confidence. The Washington Mystics are coming off a nice win over the Sparks and while the game was decided by just 2 points, Washington was up by 10 points with less than 5 minutes to play. The game never felt all that close. We only have to lay a bucket. Give me the Mystics.
