The Washington Mystics are riding a hot streak, securing playoff positioning with seven wins in their last ten, and they’re favored to cover the five-and-a-half-point spread against a struggling Los Angeles Sparks team. Despite playing on the road after a back-to-back, Washington’s elite defense ranks third in the league and has carried them through without a dominant scorer. The Sparks, eliminated from playoff contention, are led by rising star Rae Burrell, who’s averaging over 17 points in her last 12 games — including a 20-point outing against Washington. But even with Burrell’s surge, LA’s recent form (8 losses in 10) and poor road performance make them vulnerable. With Washington’s consistency and defensive firepower, expect them to edge out the Sparks — and cover the spread.
