LA Sparks vs Seattle Storm set for testing preseason
The Storm and the Sparks have played 86 games against each other, including last season. The Storm have maintained a slight edge over the Sparks, winning 45 of the total matchups. The Storm, led by Nneka Ogwumike and Jewell Loyd, still have an edge over the Sparks, despite Brink and Jackson.
However, with a new roster and some of the top players in the country playing for the Sparks, their hope should be high this season. Last year, the Sparks won only 17 of the 40 games they played. On the other hand, the Storm triumphed in only 11 of the total 40 matchups.
There is no clear answer as to whether Sparks coach Curt Miller will add Cameron Brink and Rickea Jackson to the starting lineup. However, there is a high chance that Brink should make a cut in the starting lineup.
