Overview

  • The Sparks (15-16) host the Liberty (20-11) at Crypto.com Arena tonight at 10 p.m. ET with NBA TV broadcast.
  • New York will be without Breanna Stewart, Nyara Sabally and Kennedy Burke; Isabelle Harrison entered concussion protocol and did not travel with the team.
  • Los Angeles is fully healthy and riding a nine-win surge over its past 11 games, with rookie Cameron Brink cleared for limited minutes after returning from an ACL injury.
  • The matchup kicks off New York’s three-game road swing and opens a back-to-back, intensifying fatigue concerns for frontcourt options such as Jonquel Jones.
  • Despite ESPN’s model favoring the Liberty with a 68.3% win probability, home-court advantage and recent head-to-head drama suggest a competitive tilt in the Sparks’ direction.
