Fever vs. Sparks Prediction: WNBA Picks for Wednesday, July 8
📡 SBR Edge: Sparks Fail to Cover in 4th Straight
My Fever vs. Sparks prediction includes Fever -5.5 (-110) and Kelsey Mitchell Over 23.5 points (+100). The Sparks have struggled since Kelsey Plum went down with a leg injury, while Mitchell should continue to go over this line with Aliyah Boston (leg) out today and Caitlin Clark returning from a back injury.

🏆 Who will win Fever vs. Sparks?
I like the Fever to beat the Sparks by eight points today.
Even though Boston will miss today's game, it makes sense that the Fever are favored, as they have the sixth-shortest WNBA championship odds at +2200, while the Sparks' odds (+25000) are much longer.
While there's value in betting the Fever moneyline (-220 via FanDuel), some readers aren't comfortable laying -220, so I recommend laying the points instead.
Score prediction: Fever 96, Sparks 88
💰 Fever vs. Sparks prediction & best bet
Fever -5.5 (-110)
This isn't as much a bet on the Fever as it is a bet against the Sparks.
L.A. has failed to cover three straight games since Plum went down with a leg injury, and I don't expect it to bounce back against a Fever team that just beat it by 24 points on Saturday. L.A. just isn't deep enough to be competitive without Plum, as it doesn't have another player averaging 17+ PPG.
Fever -5.5 (-110) at Caesars is the best line available among the top sports betting sites. I would make this line Fever -7 (-105) at fair odds.
🔥 Best Fever vs. Sparks player prop bet
Kelsey Mitchell Over 23.5 points (+100)
Mitchell has scored 26 or more points in three straight games, and that should continue today for two key reasons.
First, Boston will miss today's game. She's the Fever's third-leading scorer at 17.1 PPG, so the Fever will need to lean on Mitchell to make up for that production.
Second, Clark is returning after missing two games with a back injury. She averages 21.2 PPG, but since she's not expected to be at full health in her first game back, she's lined at just 16.5 points today, meaning Mitchell will have even more opportunities to score. Mitchell Over 23.5 points (+100) is the best line available among the top sports betting apps. I would make this line Over 24 points (-102).
