The Pick: LA Sparks +6.5 -115


I'm all in on the Sparks and those points. I really think this game is going to be super close, especially since Kahleah Copper is out for a few weeks after her knee procedure. The Sparks looked solid against Golden State, and I'm not worried about their loss to the Lynx. Honestly, I just feel like they're giving up too many points here, so I'm going with the Sparks and the points for this one.
