Sania Feagin is out for the Fire with a knee injury. Sarah Ashlee Barker is out with a knee injury.
Kelsey Plum is probable for the Sparks despite a leg injury.
This is an interesting spot because Plum has been in trade rumors all week but is listed as probable for this game. Well, this game tips after the trade deadline, so something has to give. If Plum is still with the Sparks, I’ll grab the free bucket, as LA has been competitive without her but just hasn’t been able to get over the hump. The Fire have issues defensively and are down two key players. The Sparks smoked the Fire back in June. Check to see if Plum is still with the Sparks before clicking the button.
