The LA Sparks are amid a three-game homestand and will host the Atlanta Dream at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday. Both teams enter the matchup with boosted morale after dominant victories — the Sparks recently notched a 91-78 win over the Chicago Sky, while the Dream blew out the Connecticut Sun 79-55.
The Sparks had a hard time before their most recent win on Sunday, when they lost three games in a row against the Minnesota Lynx, Phoenix Mercury and Golden State Valkyries. They are currently near the bottom of the Western Conference standings with a 2-3 record.
On the other side, the Dream are off to a solid start, boasting wins over strong teams such as the Dallas Wings and Indiana Fever. They’re one of just three teams in the Eastern Conference with a record better than .500.
Trending
So far, Allisha Gray has been their best performer, averaging 19.4 points per game. She’s also been well-supported by the likes of Rhyne Howard (15 points per game) and Brionna Jones, who is averaging a double-double with 13.8 points and 11.6 rebounds per game.
Given their recent form and also the fact that the Sparks are expected to be without several key players, the Dream will enter the contest as clear favorites. Atlanta has a strong chance to extend its winning streak to three games.
