Phoenix Mercury vs Los Angeles Sparks Prediction
The Los Angeles Sparks have covered 4 straight games and 7 of their last 8 games when underdogs of 8 or more points. With that said, the Sparks have been dreadful on the road, the injury report isn’t getting better and this will be their seventh straight road game. At this point, the Sparks probably just want to go home. The Mercury beat the Sparks by 19 points earlier this month. The Mercury have covered 7 of their last 10 games overall and have quietly been a good team since Griner returned to the mix. Big number, but give me the Mercury to win by double digits.
