Seattle @ Los Angeles picks

The Los Angeles Sparks scored at least 100 points in each of its first three games this month. They’ve also scored at least 100 points in five of their previous seven games. Los Angeles won’t be intimidated by Seattle’s fourth-ranked scoring defense. After all, it racked up 108 points on 46.6% shooting in a road win on August 1. Only the league-leading Minnesota Lynx have been more efficient than the Sparks from the field this year. They’re peaking at the right time and have the quality to cover against the Storm in a second straight contest.
