Mercury guard Kahleah Copper has been asked to take on a massive role on offense this season, averaging 20.5 points on 15.9 shots per game.<\/p>\n
She\u2019s shooting just 42.0 percent from the field, but Copper has 20 or more points in eight of her last 10 contests. On top of that, she dropped 41 points in her last meeting with the Sparks and had 22 in their first matchup.\u00a0<\/p>\n
L.A. not only is 14th in the league in defensive rating, but it allows the most points per game in the WNBA.<\/p>\n
Since Copper is going to get a ton of shots on Wednesday, I think she\u2019s a must-bet at this number, which is set right around her season average.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mercury vs. Sparks Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n
This season, these teams have combined for 213 points (in overtime) and 185 points in two meetings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While Phoenix has hit the UNDER in 10 of 14 road games in 2026, I think the OVER (8-4 in Sparks\u2019 home games) is the play on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Both of these teams ranks in the bottom five in the league in defensive rating, and the Sparks allow the most points per game in the W.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Los Angeles loves to play with pace (No. 2 in the WNBA), and that has contributed to it hitting the OVER in 68 percent of its games in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, there is some risk involved here since both of these teams are in the bottom five in the league in offensive rating over their last 10 games, but the Sparks have combined for 179 or more points in eight of their last 11 contests.<\/p>\n
On top of that, L.A. is still sixth in the W in points per game despite not being the most efficient offensive team.\u00a0<\/p>\n
