Indiana Fever v Los Angeles SparksHow to watch Los Angeles Sparks vs. Phoenix Mercury? TV schedule, online streams and more

Down the bottom end of the Western Conference table, Phoenix Mercury (3-5) will be hoping to put aside an underwhelming run of results when they take on fellow WNBA strugglers LA Sparks (2-5) at Footprint Center on Sunday evening. Mercury heads into this game on the back of four straight defeats.

Nate Tibbetts’ team are still looking for their first win since the memorable victories over defending champions Las Vegas Aces and Washington Mystics in consecutive games. This will also be their first home fixture since said victory, so maybe the support of the home court can spur them on to victory.


Sparks looked impressive at one point, picking up two road wins in a four-game span, but they’ve faltered lately, losing their last two games. Most of their losses were close margin and coach Curt Miller will surely see this as an ideal opportunity to turn things around. And their hopes will be boosted by having enjoyed a very favorable record over Sunday’s opponents in recent years – at Footprint Center at least.
