Los Angeles @ New York picks

The New York Liberty are a good team that’s been flat out terrible against the spread as of late. New York is now 6-10 against the spread this year after failing to cover in seven straight contests. The Los Angeles Sparks are an abysmal 3-7 against the spread this season, but can capitalize on Jonquel Jones being out of commission. Los Angeles has the bigs to test the favorites and keep this game within single digits.

Kelsey Plum is only shooting 38% from the field this season, but she’s taken 16+ shots in four of her past five contests, reaching the 20-point mark each time. I’m buying into that volume with the Over on this line of 18.5 as the Sparks battle the New York Liberty tonight. Last season’s sample size supports that pick. Plum went past this number in four of her six playoff games against New York in 2024 while playing for the Las Vegas Aces, as well as two of the teams’ three regular-season matchups.
