Los Angeles has played above its ability on the offensive end over the past month and will regress sooner rather than later.
Despite the Sparks offense averaging 88.2 points per game in July, we see a low total tonight.
Washington has been solid on the defensive end of the floor, holding their opponents to 80.4 points per game this season.
I anticipate a slow-paced contest that limits possessions in this game.

The pace of this contest will favor the under for the Sparks team total, as mentioned.
I will also back Kelsey Plum to score 18 points or more tonight. The veteran has cashed this prop in three of her last four games.
Plum leads the Sparks with 20.1 points per game this season.
I anticipate her being extremely aggressive in this matchup, which will bode well for this prop.
Best Bet: Los Angeles Sparks Team Total Under 82.5, Kelsey Plum 18+ Points
