Seattle Storm vs Los Angeles Sparks prediction

The Sparks are slight favorites. Los Angeles has had the better win rate this season and was just one seeding spot away from making the postseason.

Seattle, though, has been among the bottom two teams in the WNBA and has shown little ability to turn their season around despite having Jewell Lloyd.

Seattle Storm vs Los Angeles Sparks: Players to watch

The Sparks will lean on Azura Stevens, Dearica Hambry and Nneka Ogwumike as they look to add another victory into their win column. Layshia Clarendon will also be a big factor, looking to build on her 30-point, 5-rebound performance in her last outing.

Jordin Canada is the leading playmaker for the Sparks and will look to control the tempo of the game while also trying to break down Seattle's defensive structure. Karlie Samuelson could also be a problem with her secondary scoring ability.

For the Storm, Jewell Lloyd, Ezi Magbegor and Sami Whitcomb will be ones to keep an eye on. Of course, the Sparks will also need to find a way to contain Jordan Horston, who has produced versatile performances for the Storm all season.

Mercedes Russell is another secondary contributor who could have a big game against the Sparks, as Seattle look to end their season on a high note.
