The Sparks have star power led by Kelsey Plum and Dearica Hamby. Despite those two and other good scorers, Los Angeles has the second-worst record in the WNBA at 5-13. The major reasons for that are bad defense and lack of rebounding.

Indiana can take advantage of that even missing Caitlin Clark for another game. Kelsey Mitchell is averaging 22 points in the last five games. The Fever can exploit the Sparks on the boards, too, with All-Star center Aliyah Boston and veteran forward Natasha Howard. 

The Fever shouldn't have any letdown following a 27-point home win against the Aces from Thursday. That's because the Sparks defeated them as six-point road 'dogs, 85-75, on June 26. Indiana shot just 37 percent from the floor and made only 7 of 28 3-pointers. 

The Sparks have surrendered 85 or more points in 10 of their last 13 games. Los Angeles, though, has scored 85 or more points in three of its last four games.
