The Los Angeles Sparks roll into Phoenix tonight sitting at 6-6, looking to take care of business against a Mercury squad that's been taking Ls all season at 4-10 and struggling to find any consistency on both ends of the floor. Vegas has the Sparks as slim one-and-a-half point favorites, which tells you this one's close on paper even if the records don't scream it — Phoenix at home can still make things uncomfortable.

The over-under is sitting at 176.5, so expect both teams pushing the pace and getting buckets, because neither defense has been locking anybody down this year. Bold prediction: Sparks pull away in the fourth when Mercury can't buy a bucket down the stretch and LA's guards ice it from the line.
