The Los Angeles Sparks have had a great start, but the schedule is not making things easier. This is the second straight road game of a four-game trip, a long way from home on a 10-day trek. Despite scoring a lot of points the team is just ninth in rebounding. They come off an overtime win at New York, getting outrebounded 54-46, including 14-10 on the offensive glass. The Sparks are 5-15-1 ATS against a team with a losing straight-up record. They head to a Chicago squad playing its third home game in four contests. Chicago is second in the WNBA in rebounds, fourth in points scored. Chicago is a fine team off to a slow start, going 21-13 last year, and has gotten forward Elena Delle Donne back the last two games, returning from an illness. She had 28 points on 12-of-20 shooting in her first game back last week, losing to powerhouse Minnesota. They will do well on the boards in this one against a road weary L.A. team. Play Chicago.
