The Sparks are Struggling
The Sparks have the worst record in the league at 7-25, but they recently showed they should not be overlooked by any opponent. Last week, they snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 94-88 win against none other than the New York Liberty, who own the WNBA's best record. That was a full team effort with five Sparks reaching double digits, led by Dearica Hamby's 21 points on 9-of-15 shooting. Rookie Rickea Jackson was also outstanding with 19 points on 7-of-11 from the field, including four 3-pointers.

- Kelsey Mitchell: Mitchell has been a reliable scoring threat, averaging 19 points per game and providing a perfect backcourt partnership with Clark.
- Aliyah Boston: Boston is the team's top rebounder, averaging nine rebounds per game and providing a strong presence in the paint.
Los Angeles Sparks
- Dearica Hamby: Hamby leads the Sparks in scoring (17.5 points) and rebounding (9.8 rebounds) and is a key player for their offense.
- Rickea Jackson: Jackson has emerged as a consistent scoring threat, averaging 12.6 points per game and providing energy off the bench.
What to Expect in the Game
The Fever are on a hot streak, having won six of their last seven games. They are currently in third place in the Eastern Conference and are looking to lock in a playoff spot. The Sparks, on the other hand, are struggling and have the worst record in the league. They are hoping to pull off an upset and spoil the Fever's momentum.
A Look Back at Previous Matchups
Indiana and Los Angeles have met twice this season and have split the series. Their last encounter was on May 28, when the Sparks won 88-82. Kia Nurse led that winning effort with 22 points and five 3-pointers. Aari McDonald scored 21 points off the bench on 6-for-12 from the field, including three triples. Indiana, meanwhile, had Clark's first 30-point game, and Boston added 17 points in 23 minutes.
