-The Dream’s recent form and recent player performance.

-The Sparks recent form and recent play performance

-A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for today’s game between the Dream and Sparks. 

Sparks Continue to Be Inconsistent

The story of the season for the Sparks has been inconsistency and it looks like it could continue to be an issue the rest of the year. Two games ago against the Dallas Wings, the Sparks scored 110 points, but it wasn’t enough, as the defense gave up 113. In the last game though against the New York Liberty though, they bounced back and they ended up winning 94-88. The Sparks are averaging 79.3 points while their defense is giving up 86.4 points per game. Dearica Hambry is averaging 17.9 points while shoooting 45.1 percent from the field. 

Dream Coming Off A Loss

The Dream really struggled in the last game against the Las Veags Aces and they were defeated 83-72. In the first quarter, they only scored 18 points, and that wasn’t enough as they were defeated. Allisha Gray was the top player for the Dream, putting up 17 points, nine rebounds, and six assists. The Dream are averaging 75.9 points while their defense is giving up 80.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 12th while the defense is ranked 5th. If they want any chance in this game they are going to need to find a way to get the offense going. 

Atlanta Dream vs Los Angeles Sparks Prediction

This is probably my least favorite game on the board for Sunday across the WNBA. The biggest issue for this Dream team though is I don’t trust their offense and their lack of scoring is going to be the difference. The Sparks have been inconsistent but they are going to run up the score and that will be the difference here as they are going to get the job done. Back the Sparks against the spread.
