ASA WNBA top play on 10* Phoenix Mercury -10.5 vs. LA Sparks, 10 PM ET - The Sparks have several injury concerns and aren’t deep to begin with, which has helped contribute to their current 6-game losing streak. Coincidentally, all 6 of those games were on the road as they are again tonight in Phoenix. L.A. is 1-9 SU away this season, 6-4 ATS in those games but most recently they have lost 6 of their last eight road games by double digits. One of those L’s came in Phoenix *68-87) against this Mercury team that did not have Brittney Griner in the lineup. The Mercury are a much better team with Griner and 4-2 SU in the games she’s played in this season. They have impressive wins in that stretch against Minnesota, Seattle and New York along with a close loss to Las Vegas. Those previously mentioned teams are some of the best in the league. The Mercury are also coming off a dreadful loss in Minnesota 60-73 after shooting just 31% overall and 21% from Deep. That poor shooting performance was against the best defensive team in the W and now they step down to face one of the worst in the Sparks. L.A. is 10th in defensive Net rating on the season and on this current road trip they are allowing 89PPG which is the 2nd highest PPG averaging in the league over that 6-game span. Phoenix has faced the toughest schedule in the league this season which has impacted their -3.0PPG average point differential. The Sparks have the 2nd worst average point differential in the league at -7.1PPG but have faced an average schedule. We like the Mercury here minus the points.
