LAS vs CHI Dream11 Prediction WNBA Live Los Angeles Sparks vs Chicago Sky

LAS vs CHI Dream11: The WNBA All-Star starters have been announced and some common figures like Breanna Stewart, A’ja Wilson, Sue Bird, and Sylvia Fowles have been voted to start. But there have been some first-timers too, such as Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young. Then you have other regular ones in Nneka Ogwumike and Candace Parker. Ogwumike’s Los Angeles Sparks and Parker’s Chicago Sky will clash here.

To be honest, the Sparks have had a below-par season so far and the nine losses and six wins signify that. They snapped a three-game losing streak in the last game, beating the Mystics 84:82 as Nneka Ogwumike clipped home 21 points. On the other hand, the Sky has been a superb team and have begun their title defense ina rousing fashion. The Sky completed a milestone in the last game, after erasing a 28-point deficit and won with a scoreline of 104:95 as Courtney Vandersloot slipped in 25 points and 8 assists. Can the Sparks fend off such a difficult squad?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Sparks’ three-point woes and struggling defense

The Sparks have been one of the worst three-point shooting teams in the league and their defense has also not made up for them. The trouble with the Sparks is that they lack guards who can knock down outside shoots and that can make the offense stagnant. Katie Lou-Samuelson has been the only dependable shooter for the Sparks so afr.

Brittney Sykes have been impressive but her role is still muddy. The return of Tolliver can fix the long-range woes and she can also act as a playmaker. Liz Cambage has been a tad underwhelming, playing frustrated and loose at times. And without a surprise, Nneka Ogwumike continues to be the staple on the offensive end as an isolation scorer.

Sky’s depth is scary

To think that a team that won the title season is even deeper is just too much. There are too many isolation threats, playmakers, rebounders, and defenders in this squad that has both experience and explosion. Hauling in Emma Messeman has only made the Forward position deeper as Candace Parker has the perfect pairing as Emma knows when to take shots and when to pass it out as well as anyone.

Then of course, with Courtney Vandersloot running the show, the offense will be elite while Kahleah Copper continues to be a big factor on both ends. Allie Quigley can help the shooting matters whereas whereas the bench with Gardner and Stevens is the icing on the cake. The Sky’s depth is just downright scary and they are primed for a deep Playoffs run.
