The Los Angeles Sparks are set to face off against the Seattle Storm tonight, with both teams eager to solidify their positions in the WNBA playoff race.
After a rough start to the season at 2-6, the Sparks have managed to bounce back, winning two out of their last four games, including a notable win against the 5-5 Las Vegas Aces, who are just ahead of them in the Western Conference standings. This performance suggests that the Sparks could indeed challenge the 6-5 Storm. However, they face a significant hurdle: they are playing on their home court.
At Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, the Sparks have struggled, holding a disappointing 1-5 record, and their net rating of -5.2 at home ranks as the fourth-worst in the WNBA.
The Storm, on the other hand, are just two games away from giving the Minnesota Lynx their sole loss of the season. While they did lose to the Golden State Valkyries right after that, their victory over Minnesota demonstrates that they can compete with the elite teams. So, will we witness that strong version of the Storm tonight, or will it be the team that was down by 13 points at halftime against Golden State?
Here’s how to catch tonight’s matchup between the Storm and the Sparks.
