Despite the L.A. Sparks being 11-14; losers of three straight, they are still heavy favorites tonight against the Indiana Fever. At 5-22, the Fever are the worst team in the WNBA. They’ve lost 9 straight games and are 3-7 against the spread (ATS) over their last 10.
Tonight, they face a team that’s a bit bruised up. Will the Fever avoid a double-digit losing streak? Or will the Sparks end their own losing spell?

Fever vs. Sparks Prediction and Pick
Despite a three-game losing streak, this is the time to back the Los Angeles Sparks. They’ve played a brutal schedule over the last three games, facing the Storm, Mystics and Sky. Los Angeles will finally get a break from playing elite teams and play the league’s worst team at home tonight.
These teams are 1-1 against each other this season. While the OVER is another good play today, I’m looking at the Sparks to cover. Indiana hasn’t won a game in a month. The Fever have the second-worst offense in the league and the worst defensive rating. There’s not much they do better than the Sparks.
The Sparks haven’t been spectacular as a favorite this year, however. They are 3-4 ATS as a favorite. Nevertheless, the Fever have been worse. Indiana is 9-18 ATS this season. The only way Indiana has been able to get wins against the spread is by covering large margins, but not by winning games.
Indiana, who plays at the fastest pace in the league, will look to turn this game into a track meet. The Sparks play at the fourth-fastest pace, so it will be welcomed sight. Unless the Fever can be efficient and fast, trust the Sparks to get the job done tonight.
Pick: Sparks -8.5 vs. Fever (-110)
