Phoenix at Los Angeles

The Mercury are scoring like an NBA team (almost). They are averaging 88.4 points per game (90.8 per game over the last five). Their defense is as bad as their offense is good, which is why they are 8-8 despite this kind of offensive firepower. Los Angeles can also score (78.9 per game). They also play poor defense (77.4 points per game allowed at home). The Sparks are 6-0 OVER dating back to last season as a home favorite of up to six points. They are also 14-4 OVER at home after three straight high-scoring games in which both teams scored 70 or more.
