Los Angeles at Chicago

A long road trip for Los Angeles, with no urgency up 2-0 in the series. The Sparks are on a 31-46 ATS run, including 163-209 ATS after scoring 75 points or more. Los Angeles had a hot start, but has often been out of synch since the break, on an 8-7 SU, 5-10 ATS run, plus the Sparks are 20-31 ATS as chalk. Los Angeles has also gone UNDER the total in four of its last five road games, including scoring just 60 points in its last road contest. Chicago finished as the No. 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 11-6 straight up run. They topped the Atlanta Dream in their first playoff game, 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. They will bring a top-notch defensive effort this game as they have to win or go home. Los Angeles is 87-116 ATS after a win by 10 points, as well as 7-16 ATS against the Eastern Conference. This is a high total, but the last meeting on this court sailed UNDER by 24 points back in July. Play Chicago and UNDER the total.
