This game is the second of a pair of games these two had scheduled in New York so the Sparks are playing the Liberty with one day’s rest in between. They managed to cover the spread in their last game by one point, and now the spread is larger in this game. The Sparks have an excellent covering record on the road and versus the Liberty. The Sparks have covered eight of their last ten games against New York. The Sparks are 5-1 against the spread in the last 6 meetings in New York. The Liberty are still struggling to cover larger spreads this season and at home they are worse at it going 1-8 against the spread in their last 9 home games and are 2-5 against the spread in their last 7 games versus a team with a losing straight up record like the Sparks. They may also rest players during this game which gives Los Angeles a chance to cover. For whatever reason, the Sparks seem to get up for this team and this means the back door is left open again for the Sparks to cover again in this game. The second game shouldn't be as intense as the first game was and the Liberty may let up a bit here as they rest players for their upcoming game.

Best bet: take the Sparks and the points.
