Los Angeles Sparks vs Chicago Sky Prediction

This soft line makes absolutely no sense to me, as the Sparks are the most banged up team in the league and the losses are getting uglier and uglier. The Sky have seen 6 of their 10 wins this season come on the road, and they need to take advantage of Games like this if they’re serious about making the playoffs. The Sky beat the Sparks by 10 points back in May, and you can argue they’re an even better team now. Unless there’s an injury I’m not seeing, the Sky and the small chalk has to be a strong play on Saturday.
