The Los Angeles Sparks and Dallas Wings meet Friday in WNBA action at the College Park Center. The Los Angeles Sparks need a win after losing 5 of their last 7 games. The Dallas Wings look for a win after splitting their last 6 games.
The Los Angeles Sparks are averaging 81.2 points on 45.4 percent shooting and allowing 85.9 points on 44.6 percent shooting. Nneka Ogwumike is averaging 18.2 points and 1.8 assists, while Liz Cambage is averaging 12.7 points and 6.5 rebounds. Brittney Sykes is the third double-digit scorer and Katie Lou Samuelson is dishing 1.8 assists. The Los Angeles Sparks are shooting 32.7 percent from beyond the arc and 76.6 percent from the free throw line. The Los Angeles Sparks are allowing 37.5 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 32.5 rebounds per game.
The Dallas Wings are averaging 81.1 points on 41.5 percent shooting and allowing 81.6 points on 45 percent shooting. Arike Ogunbowale is averaging 19.3 points and 2.9 rebounds, while Allisha Gray is averaging 14.5 points and 5.6 rebounds. Marina Mabrey is the third double-digit scorer and Satou Sabally is grabbing 5.4 rebounds. The Dallas Wings are shooting 35.6 percent from beyond the arc and 78.2 percent from the free throw line.

The Sparks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win. The Wings are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 Friday games. The over is 5-2 in Sparks last 7 road games. The under is 4-0 in Wings last 4 overall. The Sparks are 7-19 ATS in the last 26 meetings in Dallas and 14-35-2 ATS in the last 51 meetings.
The Dallas Wings are probably playing the better ball now, and they're going to get the benefit of the doubt at home, but they're just not a team I'm going to lay chalk with due to a lack of consistent offense leading to poor results overall. The Los Angeles Sparks are still the more talented team overall, and they showed something their last time out against the Aces. A win here by the Sparks wouldn't be all that shocking. Give me the points.
