The Los Angeles Sparks (16-17) visit the Washington Mystics (15-18) on August 17, Sunday, at the CareFirst Arena. 

This is the third time that the Sparks and the Mystics will face each other this season. The Sparks won the first two games by an average winning margin of 13 points. 

Moreover, the Sparks are coming off a 97-96 victory over the Dallas Wings. Kelsey Plum led the way for them with 28 markers, while Dearica Hamby hauled in a double-double performance of 20 points and 10 rebounds. 

Offense has been key to the Sparks' success in the second half of the season. They've won 10 of their last 13 games, and have produced a fourth-best offensive rating this year. They also have a fully healthy roster right now, which bodes well for their playoff push.

Speaking of playoff push, the Mystics are on the bubble. They are also coming off a win, an 88-84 victory over the Indiana Fever. Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen had 21 and 18 points, respectively, in that win.

However, this is a team that has lost five of their last seven games. They will also miss the services of Jacy Sheldon in Sunday's game against the Sparks.

Our L.a. Sparks vs Washington Mystics Prediction

The Sparks won in their last game, boosting their hopes of making it to the playoffs. Propelled by an efficient offense, the Sparks have been excellent in the second half of the season. 

However, the Mystics have struggled recently, slowly losing grip of their potential playoff spot. They've also lost twice to the Sparks this season, so they'll be an underdog going into this game. Our prediction for the Washington Mystics vs Los Angeles Sparks match is: Sparks (-3.5) cover the spread.
