Los Angeles Sparks vs Chicago Sky preview
It's been a long season for the Sparks and with seven games left in the season, they are doomed at the bottom place. Curt Miller’s team is the only one in the league without a win since the break and has been defeated by the likes of the Dallas Wings, Washington Mystics, Connecticut Sun and most recently, Indiana Fever.
The Sky, similarly, find themselves in a rut of their own.
One of the worst shooting teams in the league, the Sky have suffered a poor run of late, consisting of not a single win in their last seven games, which sees them in a two-horse race for the eighth and final two playoff spots.
Teresa Weatherspoon’s women are currently tied with the Atlanta Dream at 11-22 with seven games remaining. The Sky need a spark and they need it fast before things begin to go downhill.
Los Angeles Sparks vs Chicago Sky prediction
Both teams will be on the lookout for the win, particularly the Chicago outfit, who have a real battle on their hands to make the playoffs. The last two performances against the Minnesota Lynx and Las Vegas Aces were excellent responses, but they lacked a killer blow.
Considering the Sparks come into this game on the back of 10 straight defeats, it could make the Sky rediscover the performance that helped them defeat LA 90-86 20 days ago.
