Los Angeles Form & Recent Results
Los Angeles heads into this game in a rough patch, currently riding a three-game losing streak and having lost four of their last five overall. Their most recent game ended in an 82–64 defeat to Seattle at home on Monday, a game where the Sparks struggled to generate consistent offense. Dearica Hamby was one of the few bright spots, leading the way with 17 points, while Nneka Ogwumike made her presence felt on the glass with 11 rebounds. Erica Wheeler also tried to keep things organized offensively, finishing with 7 assists, but it wasn’t enough to stop Seattle from pulling away.
Kelsey Plum has been the main scoring engine for Los Angeles throughout this season, putting up 23.9 points per game. Ogwumike has been a strong second option, averaging 16.1 points, and she’s also been their most reliable rebounder at 8.7 boards a night. Plum isn’t just scoring either, she leads the Sparks in playmaking as well, averaging 6.4 assists per game. The worrying trend lately has been on the defensive end because in their last five games, Los Angeles has been giving up an average of 102.8 points. If they don’t tighten things up and respond with more energy against Indiana, they risk another disappointing, and potentially embarrassing, home loss on Wednesday night.

They also got important contributions in other areas, with Nalyssa Smith pulling down 10 rebounds to help control the glass, and Chelsea Gray handing out six assists to keep the offense moving and teammates involved.

Indiana vs. Los Angeles Picks and Prediction
Indiana’s offense has been on a real tear over the last few games, and that’s exactly the kind of momentum that can give the Sparks headaches. If LA wants to hang around in this one, their defense can’t afford a slow start, they’ll need to come out locked in right away, communicate well, and make Indiana work for every look. Otherwise, the Sparks could find themselves chasing the game early with very little room to recover. Final Score Prediction, Indiana Fever win, but fail to cover the spread, 99-93.
