Fever vs. Sparks Prediction, Odds & WNBA Best Bets Today: Aug. 5
The Indiana Fever look to win a sixth straight game to bolster their WNBA championship odds when they take on the Los Angeles Sparks today. The action from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles gets underway at 10 p.m. ET (CBSSN).
Despite being without superstar Caitlin Clark, the Fever are -120 moneyline betting favorites, but my Fever vs. Sparks prediction is more concerned about the offensive outing from both teams.

The Sparks have been playing some of their best basketball of the season lately, thanks to an offense led by Kelsey Plum. However, during this 6-1 stretch, only one of their wins has come against a team with a better record than the Fever (New York Liberty). The average winning percentage of the other five teams they beat is just .374.
Meanwhile, the Fever continue to surge without Clark, having won five straight and eight of their last 10. The trio of Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, and Natasha Howard should create all kinds of issues for a lackluster L.A. defense. My Fever vs. Sparks prediction has Indiana winning this one by a score of 92-88.
💰 Fever vs. Sparks best bet & WNBA predictions
🚀 Over 176 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
📊 Best odds: -110 via Caesars ($10 to win $9.09)
The Sparks are nothing if not entertaining. They may have a losing record this season (12-15), but they've become the most exciting team in the league to watch for Over bettors. Los Angeles is 18-8-1 betting the Over this season, best in the league by a wide margin, and has hit the Over in eight of its last nine - that includes the last time it played Indiana.
The Sparks' offense has been far from the problem this season. They're putting up the third-most points per game in the league (85.5) behind an attack that ranks No. 2 in pace (79.2) and led by Plum, who's scoring the fourth-most points per game in the WNBA (20.3). She's not alone either, with Dearica Hamby, Azura Stevens, Rickea Jackson, and the recently healthy Cameron Brink giving this offense plenty of options.
For the Fever to maintain their win streak, they'll need to expose Los Angeles' defensive issues to keep up with Plum and Co. Luckily for Indiana, head coach Steph White hasn't needed Clark lately. Mitchell has taken her game up a notch and sits No. 4 in the W in points per game (19.5), while Boston is top three in both offensive win shares (3.5) and offensive rating (120.5).
Those two should cook a Sparks defense that's allowing the most points per game in the league (88.0) and help cash the Over.

Boston is one of the best players in the WNBA this season, and the former No. 1 overall pick has been a double-double machine since the return from the All-Star break. The South Carolina product has recorded a double-double in six straight games and is averaging a combined 26.6 points and rebounds per game over that stretch.
Los Angeles' poor defense inside the arc - it allows the second-highest 2-point percentage in the league (52%) - should help the Fever's star hit this Over. The last time Boston played the Sparks, she managed 23 points and 12 rebounds.
