Los Angeles Sparks vs New York Liberty Prediction: Sparks to win
Los Angeles Sparks vs New York Liberty Prediction: The Los Angeles Sparks will start as favorites to win their upcoming game against the New York Liberty as per the latest predictions.
With each game, the margin of error is becoming less for teams in the bottom half of the table. It can be called a battle of survival when the Los Angeles Sparks take on the New York Liberty for the next WNBA fixture tonight. Both sides are #9 and #10 seed respectively in the tournament and the playoff chances might just start looking more difficult for the team that loses today.
The Sparks are expected to start with more confidence and an emphatic victory over the Wings in the last game. It was a historic game for the Sparks as they secured their 500th WNBA win. Liz Cambage was the shining star once again as she scored 21 points with 11 rebounds. Nneka Ogwumike also added 21 points with 4 assists. The Sparks will aim to capitalize on the momentum and continue the same form tonight.
It will be another mighty challenge for New York Liberty when they meet the Sparks at the Crypto.com Arena tonight. The Liberty hardly managed to have a meaningful winning streak so far. Their last game ended with another disappointing loss to the Dream. Stefanie Dolson was the leading scorer for Liberty in that game. Dolson scored 20 points and added 7 rebounds to her name. Very few of the other players looked in good touch. New York needs a complete team effort in the upcoming games to keep their playoff hopes alive.
