The Atlanta Dream, fresh off clinching their fourth straight playoff berth, travel to a stumbling LA Sparks on Monday at 10pm ET.
Atlanta is looking for its ninth consecutive win over Los Angeles. The Dream swept the season series in 2024 and 2025 and are looking to do the same this year, having won 101-92 at home last month and then romped to a 124-88 victory in LA on Thursday.
The Dream are trying to close out a perfect four-game road trip against the Sparks, who ended a six-game losing streak with a 77-68 victory at home over Connecticut on Sunday.
Atlanta racked up away wins against the Aces, Sparks and Mercury, scoring 97, 124 and 99 points in those three victories.
Los Angeles, who will miss the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season, has lost six of seven and 13 of 16 overall, including five of six at home.
Atlanta Dream vs. LA Sparks betting picks and predictions
Atlanta Dream -9.5 (-110)
Atlanta is a 9.5-point road favorite for this clash, with a -500 moneyline, while Los Angeles sits at +375. This is the third meeting that the Dream have been favored by 9.5 points, with Atlanta covering the handicap in convincing fashion on Thursday.
It is hard to ignore the recency bias for this contest. The Dream are battling for a Top-4 slot to host a first-round playoff series, while the Sparks have now lost at least 23 games for the fifth consecutive season.
Atlanta pounded Los Angeles on Thursday by 36 points and the Dream is 3-0 against the spread in their last three matches.
Add in the fact Atlanta is 7-1 against the spread in this eight-game winning streak against the Sparks, and it is hard to make a case for LA.
The Sparks appear to be running on fumes - they are 1-3 against the spread in their last four games - and they are there for the taking.
Over 181.5 points (-110)
These teams have played to the over in three straight and four of the last five. The total was 181.5 points in the two matchups this season, and the teams easily surpassed that both times.
Atlanta has played to the over in two straight. Although the Sparks have played to the over just once in their past five games, that came Thursday against Atlanta. Take the over again.
