Los Angeles beat the Mercury 86-72 on Thursday to break a streak of six straight UNDERS, but the Sparks still are 25-11 UNDER on the season. The Sparks allow 74.9 points per game and just a 43.0 percent shooting percentage. And Phoenix has a 43.9 field goal percentage offensively. Six of the last nine meetings have stayed UNDER, and the Sparks have gone UNDER 22 of their last 27 overall. Also, the Mercury is 6-2 UNDER its last eight games, and eight of the last 10 meetings in Phoenix went UNDER. Los Angeles goes for the sweep in the Western Conference semifinals after Candace Parker scored a team-leading 24 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in Game 2. Diana Taurasi led the Mercury with 21 points while Brittney Griner added 16 points. Look for previous trends to continue. Play this matchup to stay UNDER the total.
