Phoenix Mercury vs. Los Angeles Sparks Prediction

I’m on the over here. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but I think we’re getting points in this game. The Sparks have been one of the highest scoring teams in the WNBA over their resurgence over the last couple of months and the Mercury still have a loaded lineup and one of the most talent lineups at the top in the WNBA. I think this is going to be an entertaining game here so give me the over in this one.
