The Sparks come into this matchup with a miserable 4-13 record and have lost six games in a row. Star forward Dearica Hamby has been one of the team’s few bright spots, as she is the only player to average double-digit points for Los Angeles this year. Hamby is also the Sparks’ best player in assists, steals and rebounds.
Los Angeles was notably without Cameron Brink, the 2024 second-round pick. The dominant defensive player suffered an ACL injury that will see her miss the entire WNBA season, which is a huge blow for the Sparks. The injury ruined her rookie season and severely impacted the team’s roster. Due to this setback, Los Angeles will need to perform much better to win today’s game.
Phoenix currently has a record of 8-8, but the team boasts an incredible 6-2 record at home. Luckily for the Mercury, tonight’s game is in Phoenix and the team is currently completely healthy.
The Mercury have four players averaging double-digit scoring, including all three of their star players: Diana Taurasi, Kahleah Copper and Brittney Griner. These three have been crucial to the team’s victories this season, and they will look to maintain a winning record with a victory tonight.
The Mercury lost their last game 73-60 to the Minnesota Lynx because they struggled on offense. Phoenix’s three stars combined for just 26 points in the game. If they can’t score in tonight’s game, the Sparks could pull off an upset in Phoenix.
