Los Angeles Sparks vs Phoenix Mercury Prediction

The Phoenix Mercury haven’t won many games lately, but there’s no excuse to lose this game. Even with injuries, the Mercury are head and shoulders the better team with Brittney Griner and Diana Taurasi on the court. The Los Angeles Sparks are the most banged up team in the league, and they have nothing to play for with two games left. The Mercury are still playing for playoff seeding and are coming off a hard fought win over the Sky. You can argue this line should be larger than it is. I’ll lay the bucket with the Mercury.
