The LA Sparks vs Indiana Fever matchup is one of two WNBA games scheduled on Thursday. This is the first time that these two teams will square off in the 2025 season, and much is at stake for either ball squad.
On the one hand, the Sparks — who have been languishing at the bottom of the Western Conference standings with their 4-11 record — are in dire need of more wins to keep their playoff hopes alive. On the other hand, the Fever (who are 7-7) have been struggling to win consistently this season.
