Atlanta at Los Angeles

This isn't a typical season for the LA Sparks, who are just 8-13 straight-up, but the Dream is only 6-15. These teams met two nights ago here and dropped an 85-80 decision. The problem was shooting. The Dream shot just 38.6% despite fewer turnovers and out-rebounding the Sparks by 11. The Sparks have failed off the glass and recently have been out-rebounded by 12 per game in their last three, which speaks of a lack of effort to me. I like the game the Dream played here, and expect them to shoot much better. Make the play on Atlanta.
