Los Angeles Sparks vs. Atlanta Dream Prediction
I’m looking at the Sparks and the points here. I think it’s fairly hard to blowout the same team in a back-to-back scenario, and I think the Sparks come into this game knowing they lost a game in hand and an opportunity to make up ground in the standings, and I think they try to make that up here.
