LA Sparks vs Phoenix Mercury 8/19/20 - WNBA Picks & Predictions

Phoenix is coming into the game here with a 6-5 record overall. That could really help the Mercury in getting the playoff seeds. The problem is the Mercury are also coming into the game here facing a Sparks team that has been able to play good this year. On the year the Mercury have ended up getting a loss handed to them by the Dallas Wings by a 95-89 score.

Brittney Griner is the leading scorer for the Mercury on the year with 17 points a game on 48.3% shooting from the field. Griner even leads the Mercury in the rebounding department with 7.7 boards per game. Diana Taurasi is the leading passer for the year with 5.8 assist a game.

The Sparks are coming into the game here with a decent 7-3 record and have looked fairly strong on the year. With the Sparks the last game for the team ended up getting a 90-76 win over the Indiana Fever in what had been a great game for the Sparks.

Leading the scoring for Los Angeles is Riquna Williams who has ended up getting a total of 13 points a game on 46.5% shooting from the field. Candace Parker is the Sparks player who is leading the team in rebounding with 9.2 boards a game. Chelsea Gray is leading the Sparks with the assist department with 5.1 assist per game.

Coming to this match the Sparks are one team that has not really had any big name player step up in the games to control the game for the scoring. That is a defensive nightmare for a lot of teams as it means they have to play against all the players without worrying about any weakness. Look for that to overwhelm the defense for Phoenix in this game and that allows the Sparks to play good in the game here  and bring home a win. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Sparks win 86-78.
