Liberty vs. Sparks prediction and pick

This is a tricky spot for the Liberty, who hit the road for the first time after four straight games, traveling across the country for a 1 PM local start against the Sparks.

While Los Angeles has fallen out of the playoff picture amidst a long losing streak, the team has a stout perimeter defense that can make this more of a grind and difficult for the Liberty to pull away to cover as road favorites. The Sparks have the second best perimeter defense in the league, allowing opponents to shoot 32% from beyond the arc, the second best mark in the league.

While the Sparks offense is bottom third in the WNBA in points per 100 possessions, the Liberty's defense has taken a step back of late, allowing the highest three-point percentage to opponents in the month of July in the month of July.

Plug your nose and take the points with the Sparks as home underdogs.
