Thursday’s featured WNBA slate includes five matchups, with the Los Angeles Sparks taking on the New York Liberty at Barclays Center—one of two games tipping off at 7:00 p.m. ET.
New York enters as a dominant force atop the Eastern Conference, while Los Angeles continues to fight for traction out West. Despite the disparity in records, this game presents promising betting value. Our Sparks vs. Liberty predictions breaks down why L.A. could keep this one closer than the spread suggests.
Here’s how I’m betting the game with my WNBA picks for Thursday, July 3.
Sparks vs Liberty predictions
My Sparks vs Liberty best bet: Sparks +10 (-112 at FanDuel)
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.
Sparks vs Liberty same-game parlay (SGP)
Sparks +10
Dearica Hamby Over 17.5 points and assists
Azurá Stevens to record a double-double
The Liberty are undermanned in the frontcourt and Los Angeles has two bigs who can take advantage of that weakness. Dearica Hamby has gone over 17.5 points and assists in three straight contests and three of Azurá Stevens’ five double-doubles this season have come against top-five rebounding teams.
