⭐ Editorial Prediction
Both teams favour an attacking style and play at a high tempo, consistently putting up more than 88 points per game this season and in recent outings. The hosts are mired in a five-game losing streak, yet they manage to keep games close thanks to their efficient offense-even as defensive struggles persist. The numbers back it up: they've covered a +9.5 spread in six of their last seven matchups. The visitors tend to come out on top on the strength of their balanced offense, though they've shown some defensive lapses lately. We expect the California side to put up another strong fight at home and, even if they fall short, to keep it close. Our pick: Sparks to cover the +7.5 spread.
