Sparks vs. Liberty Preview
New York hosts Los Angeles in the third and final meeting between these two teams this season. The Liberty are riding a hot streak on the offensive end of the court; they've averaged 98 points over their last three games, which points to why they are sitting as heavy home favorites at nearly -8.5.
The Sparks have struggled all year but bring a fast-paced attack of their own, ranking third in the league in pace, which should keep possessions plentiful for both sides even in a lopsided matchup on paper.
Ariel Atkins has had an up-and-down first season in Los Angeles after arriving via sign-and-trade, but she's found real rhythm lately. Her season averages sit at a career-low 9.2 points, largely a product of cold shooting stretches earlier in the year, but she's been a different player over her last five games, averaging 12.0 points, 4.0 assists, and 3.0 rebounds.
Our PRO player prop projections like her ascension to continue tonight.
