The Storm will be without two key players, Jewell Lloyd and Ezi Magbegor, which could impact their defense significantly more than their offense. 

The Sparks already play at a fast pace, and I anticipate the Storm will match that tempo, leading to a quicker game overall. Without Ezi anchoring the paint, second-chance points and points around the basket should come more easily for the Sparks. Regardless of whether they cover the spread, I believe the Sparks have a strong opportunity to exceed their team total in this matchup.
