Here's what to look for during today's slate:

Los Angeles Sparks at Connecticut Sun
7 p.m. ET, Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, Conn.

Line: Sun -7
Money line: Sparks (+260), Sun (-335)
Total: 156.5 points

BPI prediction:
Sun: 77.8% chance to win.
Projected margin of victory: 8.6 points

Injury report
Sparks: Nia Clouden (Out), Chiney Ogwumike (Out), Nneka Ogwumike (Day-To-Day), Lexie Brown (Out), Katie Lou Samuelson (Out)
Sun: No injuries reported

Fantasy streamer: Karlie Samuelson (rostered in 30.4% of ESPN leagues) should be considered as a streamer with Nneka Ogwumike questionable for Tuesday night. Samuelson has scored 20 or more fantasy points and played 28-plus minutes in three consecutive games.

Best bet: Sparks +7.0. The Sparks have a one-game lead over the Sky, but do not own the tiebreaker, so they'll need to finish above them to punch their ticket to the postseason. The Sparks are currently the No. 8 seed while the Sun are locked into the No. 3 seed. Los Angeles is 5-1 against the spread over the past six road games.

Chicago Sky at Indiana Fever
7 p.m. ET, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, Indiana

Line: Sky -1
Money line: Sky (-115), Fever (-105)
Total: 162.5 points

BPI prediction:
Sky: 51.9% chance to win.
Projected margin of victory: 0.5 points

Injury report
Sky: Alanna Smith (Day-To-Day), Rebekah Gardner (Out), Isabelle Harrison (Out)
Fever: Bernadett Hatar (Day-To-Day), Kristy Wallace (Day-To-Day), Lexie Hull (Out)

Best bet: Sky -1.0. Chicago is the No. 9 seed while
