Chicago finished as the #2 seed in the East with the top offense in the WNBA (86.2 points per game). They are playing their best basketball at the right time of the season, on an 11-4 straight-up run. They've only played one playoff game, topping the Atlanta Dream in a wire-to-wire win, 108-98. They scored a playoff-record 37 points in the opening quarter. The Sky's offense was crisp as they shared the ball and got contributions up and down the roster. Chicago racked up 26 assists, shot 55 percent from the field and tied the record for the most points scored in a regulation playoff game. Los Angeles has home court but is on a 17-36 ATS run at home, plus 19-31 ATS as chalk. Los Angeles had a hot start but has been out of synch since the break, on a 6-7 SU, 3-10 ATS run. It will have been 12 days since the Sparks took the floor when they play this one. The Sparks are also 5-16 ATS against the Eastern Conference. This is a high total but the last meeting sailed UNDER by 24 points. With so much at stake in the postseason, look for another defensive game in a close one. Play Chicago and the UNDER.
