The Los Angeles Sparks are averaging 80 points on 43.9 percent shooting and allowing 85.1 points on 43.4 percent shooting. Nneka Ogwumike is averaging 16 points and 2 assists, while Liz Cambage is averaging 15.3 points and 5.7 rebounds.

The Mercury are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Sparks are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Wednesday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 4-1 in Mercury last 5 road games. The over is 6-2 in Sparks last 8 overall. The Mercury are 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Los Angeles.

These are two banged up teams that probably don't struggle as much as they are if they don't have so many injuries. With that said, the Phoenix Mercury are in better shape roster wise and there's a decent chance Skylar Diggins-Smith returns, which is a major boost. The Los Angeles Sparks are missing way too many key players to trust against respectable opponents, and they've been getting killed on the defensive side, especially. I have no choice but to lay the bucket with the Mercury on the road.
