Los Angeles at Atlanta

This is a long road trip for a Los Angeles team that is 5-10 away. Los Angeles just finished a three-game homestand and now heads out to the East and the Sparks are 5-11 ATS against the Eastern Conference, plus 3-12-1 ATS against a team with a losing record. Atlanta is second in the WNBA in points and playing hard, on a 6-4 SU and 8-1-1 ATS run. That included two straight-up wins as a dog of +7 and +2. The Dream is on a 6-0 ATS run, as well as 7-0 ATS in their last seven home games. Atlanta won for the fourth time in six games with Sunday's 73-67 victory over Washington. Angel McCoughtry's 18 points led a balanced offensive effort with Tiffany Hayes (17) and Sancho Lyttle (16). Atlanta hasn't missed the playoffs since their inaugural 2008 season and they are still alive with something to play for. Atlanta is 5-0 ATS the last five meetings against Los Angeles and the Sparks are 0-4 ATS at Atlanta. Look for a big effort by the desperate home team. They're playing well, so the value is for the home team to win the game outright. Play Atlanta on the moneyline.
