While the Sparks are coming off an impressive win where they scored 94 points, it's important to note that their offensive efficiency wasn't particularly high. They shot just 40% from the field but capitalized on turnovers and free throw opportunities to reach that total.
However, facing the Aces is a different story. I don't expect the Aces to turn the ball over as much as the Mercury did in the Sparks' previous game, nor do I anticipate the Sparks having the same level of success at the free throw line. The Aces boast a stronger overall defense compared to the Mercury, which will likely make it more challenging for the Sparks to score at will.
Considering these factors, it's reasonable to lean towards the LA Sparks staying under their team total against the Aces. The Aces' defensive prowess and their ability to limit turnovers and free throw opportunities for their opponents should play a significant role in keeping the Sparks' scoring in check.
