Chicago is in rebuilding mode. But the Sky have excellent team chemistry and have been playing well going 2-2 SU, 3-1 ATS in their last four games with the victories coming on the road against the Liberty and Wings - two teams better than the Sparks.

I rank the Sky above the Sparks. The situation sets up better, too, for Chicago.

Los Angeles is in action for the fourth time in seven days. This is the Sparks' second straight road game. They opened their road swing with an upset victory against Indiana this past Tuesday.

The Sparks rank third-from-the-bottom in scoring and second-to-last in free throw percentage. They have a short bench and are down guard Layshia Clarendon, who remains sidelined with a head injury.
