The Los Angeles Sparks, missing Lisa Leslie, are laying too many points tonight on the road in Chicago. Side with the underdog Sky in this WNBA matchup.

The Los Angeles Sparks are no longer the WNBA powerhouse they used to be, even though they are a pretty good young team. With superstar Lisa Leslie no longer in a Sparks uniform due to maternity leave, this team may find the early going tough this season.

Yes, I know the talented Chamique Holdsclaw is still here, but she can be an inconsistent contributor. With that said look for the the Chicago Sky at home to make this a much closer tilt than many pundits think.

Note: The Sky in their first game of the season held a big lead against New York on the road with roughly eight minutes remaining before the Liberty scored an amazing 13 treys for the eventual shocking win. I'm sure these ladies feel a little embarrassed after that loss and will come back here with a huge effort this evening. Play on the Sky to cover.

Free Pick: Sky +7
