Sparks Betting Preview

The Sparks sit with a 1-2 record overall and in their last game they looked awful. The Sparks only managed 65 points while the defense gave up 93 points to the Las Vegas Aces. At the end of the first quarter the Sparks were defeated 93-65. The Sparks are averaging 81.3 points while their defense is giving up 86 points per game. The offense is ranked 4th in the league while hte defense is ranked 9th. In this game the Sparks need the offense to step up early and put the pressure on Phoenix.

The Mercury comes into this game with a 1-2 record overall but they are coming off their first win the last game.

Shane’s Free Pick

Both of these teams have been disappointing to start the season and no team has really given them a reason to trust them so far this season. The Mercury’s defense has been a big issue giving up 83.3 points per game and I don’t really trust their defense to step up in this game. The Sparks are going to run up the score here, and they are going to get the job done here. Back the Mercury against the spread.
