WNBA - 655 Los Angeles Sparks @ 656 Seattle Storm
Projected line: LA Sparks by 8 points
Seattle had a very easy win over a terrible Phoenix team, however they didn't look good at all. Sue Bird struggled the whole game with a stomach flu and even though Tina Thompson returned to the court, but she was clearly limited. With Wauters and Lauren still out, the Storm' post game is basically zero right now. They didn't have problems against Phoenix, but let's face it, the Mercury frontcourt is also a disaster, however the same can't be said to the Sparks' frontcourt. Seattle attempted 23 3pts shots, went to the charity line just 7 times and grabbed only 4 offensive rebounds against Phoenix! They will now face the Sparks, and the LA team has a big defensive problem in stopping pick n rolls, as their frontcourt struggles in defending this kind of play. However, Seattle has no frontcourt for this game, just Camille Little and she isn't a threat down low and she's a mid-ranger shooter.
I believe there will be no miracles for Seattle. With Lauren back and Bird at 100%, the Storm will be a very strong team. However, on this game with Bird struggling with the flu and Lauren out, the Sparks' powerful frontcourt with Parker, Ogwumike and Milton-Jones will pound the Storm down low and get a comfortable win today. Therefore, I'll be taking the Sparks tonight.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 655 Los Angeles Sparks (-4) @ -110 / 1.91 on 5Dimes
