Wednesday’s Best WNBA Picks: Sparks vs. Mercury
Los Angeles Sparks vs. Phoenix Mercury Prediction & Pick
These teams put together two of the more impressive defensive performances early in the season. Los Angeles allowed just 67 points on 36.5% shooting against Golden State while the Mercury shut down the Storm, allowing 59 points on 33.3% shooting and 17.6% from deep.
The Sparks followed up that initial performance with a 14-point loss to the Lynx. But the Lynx are in a class above the Sparks and likely the Mercury. There is a lot to like from both of these defenses despite both of them sitting in the bottom four of the league in DRtg in 2024.
Last year's results are likely playing a big part in this point total. Both of these teams will be improved this year on the defensive end, and I'll take the early value on this line.
Pick: Total u163.5 (-115)
