Stephen Nover's WNBA Sunday Big Ticket - 4-0 WNBA Run
(WNBA) Los Angeles vs. Phoenix,
Money Line: -112.00 Phoenix (Home)
Result: Win
It's not too much to ask the Mercury to beat the Sparks at home. Phoenix is playing better since a coaching change from Vanessa Nygaard to Nikki Blue.

Phoenix catches the Sparks dealing with multiple key injuries. The Sparks will be minus four of their eight best rotation players. Out are Lexie Brown - the Sparks' No. 2 scorer - Nina Clouden, Chiney Ogwumike and Karlie Samuelson.

The Sparks have been the hardest hit by injuries of any WNBA team. It's taken a toll as LA is 0-4 SU and ATS in its last four games.

The Mercury should dominate inside with Brittney Griner and a still highly-effective 41-year-old guard Diana Taurasi. She returns after sitting out Phoenix's last game for rest.
