A pair of 1-0 teams meet. Los Angeles is on 4-9 ATS run as well as 4-11 ATS against the Western Conference. This Phoenix team is solid all around, easily getting by the Seattle Storm 81-64 on Saturday. The Phoenix Mercury shot 55.9 percent while holding the Storm to 33.9, and took a 25-11 lead into the second quarter never looking back. Los Angeles is off a win, as well, but the Sparks are 1-4 ATS following a victory and 2-8 ATS against a team with a winning record. This is an evenly matched game, and when they last met, the Mercury knocked them out of the playoffs with a 78-77 win in Game Three on Brittney Griner's turnaround jumper with 4.9 seconds left. The Sparks are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games and 0-5 ATS after a spread cover, so grab the big dog in this even game. Play the Phoenix Mercury.
