Today's WNBA Basketball Picks:

Game: San Antonio at Los Angeles (10:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 5 units on Los Angeles -5.5 (+100) (risk 5 to win 5)
Pick: 3 units on Game Total OVER 147.5 -110 (risk 3 to win 2.7)

This was supposed to be a game with huge playoff and division implications, but it won't be as these teams have both had disappointing seasons. The Silver Stars have played OK at home, but they have been complete no-shows on the road. They have gotten progressively worse on the road and have dropped their last four by an average of 11 points per game. After a dreadful start, the Sparks have come alive and have been 7-3 in their last 10. They lost their last game at the hands of the Silver Stars, so revenge is in order, as that was just three days ago and is fresh in their minds. Los Angeles has lost the passion for defense with their season becoming meaningless. After allowing 80+ in just seven of their first 25 games, they have allowed 80+ in four straight and in five of their last six. The difference however, is this team that scored 80 points just four times in their first 25. A team that never reached 90, has suddenly scored 90+ in three of their last six. I like LA and the over here.

The Silver Stars have dropped four straight on the road, and have been beaten by an average of 11 points per game in those four games. This was a team that was supposed to be in the playoffs, so taking to the road late in the season has been a no-show for them. They have managed just four road wins all season, and two of those were to a Minnesota team in the midst of a 4-14 run. The Sparks have one more meaningful game left and that is this one at home, revenging a loss that occurred just three days ago to the Silver Stars in San Antonio. I will go with LA on the moneyline here.

Results: 2-1
