Phoenix at Los Angeles

There was a consensus amongst WNBA followers at the beginning of the season that this LA Sparks team could contend in the West. That never happened as this team has under-achieved all season at 10-13. They will have a chance to salvage their season, and gain a boatload of confidence, with a win tonight at home vs. the suddenly invincible Phoenix Mercury. Phoenix comes into this one having put 13 straight in the win column. They have played the Sparks twice this season and LA gave them strong games in both, losing each by just 5 points, taking them to the wire both times. I think the Sparks rise to their level of talent with the challenge of knocking off a streaking team and gets over the top tonight. Play the Sparks on the moneyline.
