Toronto Tempo vs. Los Angeles Sparks Prediction

I’m leaning towards the under in this game. This feels like a big number for the Sparks, but this is also the first true road game for the Tempo in their tenure. This also feels like arguably the toughest test for Toronto to this point. Ultimately, I think we have a lower-scoring game brewing here, so give me the under.
