The Portland Fire look for a win after losing 6 of their last 7 games. The Fire have split their last 6 road games.
The Portland Fire are averaging 86.2 points on 45 percent shooting and allowing 90.9 points on 46.4 percent shooting. Carla Leite is averaging 15.8 points and 6.3 assists, while Bridget Carleton is averaging 14.3 points and 4.5 rebounds.

The Portland Fire is allowing 35 percent shooting from deep and is grabbing 30.3 rebounds per game.
The Los Angeles Sparks look to play spoiler after winning 3 of their last 5 games. The Sparks have split their last 4 home games.
The Los Angeles Sparks are averaging 87.1 points on 46.2 percent shooting and allowing 92 points on 47.4 percent shooting. Nneka Ogwumike is averaging 17.2 points and 3 assists, while Dearica Hamby is averaging 14.4 points and 7 rebounds. Rae Burrell is the third double-digit scorer, and Erica Wheeler is dishing out 5.1 assists. The Los Angeles Sparks are shooting 33.2 percent from beyond the arc and 77.7 percent from the free-throw line. The Los Angeles Sparks are allowing 33.8 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 31 rebounds per game.
Cameron Brink is doubtful for the Sparks with an ankle injury. Dearica Hamby is doubtful with a knee injury. Aaliyah Nye is doubtful with an ankle injury.
Sania Feagin is out for the Fire with a knee injury. Teja Oblak is out with a knee injury. Jordan Harrison is questionable with an ankle injury. Bridget Carleton is questionable with an ankle injury.
A lot of injuries for both teams that are in a free fall and waiting for the season to end. The difference here is the Sparks have been more competitive overall and are at home. There should be support for Ogwumike, as there are only a few more games left in her career. Also, the Fire have just been so awful defensively that any team with a pulse should beat them. We’re laying less than a full bucket. I have to side with the Sparks at home.
