The New York Liberty are -4.5 point favorites when they visit the Los Angeles Sparks tonight at crypto.com Arena. 

Injuries have decimated both teams, and my Liberty vs. Sparks predictions and WNBA picks expect a high-scoring affair on Tuesday, July 28.

Liberty vs Sparks prediction

Liberty vs Sparks best bet: Over 183.5 (-110)

The Los Angeles Sparks operate at a frantic 99.96 pace while holding a second-to-last 112.3 Defensive NET over their past five games. 

They bleed 42.5 points in the paint per game, offering Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones endless opportunities to score.

Conversely, a depleted New York Liberty rotation missing Leonie Fiebich and Satou Sabally lacks perimeter depth, surrendering 45.1% from deep and 16.4 fast-break points per contest during this stretch. 

With eight of their last 10 head-to-head meetings going Over, expect high offensive volume and very little defense. 

Play the Over up to 184.5.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Across their last five games, the Sparks and Liberty rank 11th and 12th best, respectively, in DEFENSIVE NET.

Liberty vs Sparks same-game parlay

Los Angeles' 112.3 defensive rating and league-worst paint defense leaking oil (42.5 PITP) will give Breanna Stewart another opportunity to score at least 22 points for the sixth time in eight games. 

The Sparks' aggressive help defense collapses inward, leaving WNBA All-Star MVP Jonquel Jones open at the top of the key, where she’s drilled two or more triples in three of her last five games.
