Atlanta Dream Host Red Hot LA Sparks on NBATV

Dream Look to Contain the Rolling Sparks

The Los Angeles Sparks and the Atlanta Dream will battle at McCamish Pavillion in Atlanta on Friday night. The game will tip-off a little after 7:30 EST and will be broadcast on NBATV.

The Atlanta Dream will look to stop the streaking Los Angeles Sparks again in 2017 like they did last year. Last year the Sparks came to Atlanta riding the WNBA's best start to a season ever. The Sparks were 20-1 coming into the game and the Dream shut them down 91-74. This year the Sparks are on a six-game winning streak after a slow start to the season. Sitting at 10-3 coming into the night, the 5-6 Atlanta Dream will try to clamp down on the defending WNBA Champions again.

Oddsmakers opened the Sparks as -8-point favorites versus the Dream, while the game's total opened at 159. The Sparks are now a 7.5-point favorite. The total has dropped to 158.

Atlanta was a 82-78 loser at home against the Chicago Sky in their game. They failed to cover the -3-point spread as favorites, while the combined score (160) was profitable news for UNDER bettors. Atlanta beat the Sparks 75-73 on May 28. They were led with 24 points by forward Tiffany Hayes. The Dream's defense held the Sparks to 41.7 percent shooting and forced 17 turnovers.

Los Angeles won its last outing 87-79 against the Connecticut Sun on June 27. The Sparks covered in that game as a -2.5-point favorite, while the 166 combined points took the game UNDER the total.
