LAS vs DAL Dream11: The last two spots remain vacant in the Playoffs which means that the last day of the Regular Season has brought the battle for the Postseason down the wire. The two teams that meet here have already cleared their picture either way as the qualified Dallas Wings take on the already eliminated Los Angeles Sparks.
The Sparks have been unable to make Playoffs twice in a row. They have only won 13 out of 35 games in another disappointing season. They come into this game as they got run over by the Sun 69:93.
On the other hand, the Wings have already made the Playoffs, having won 17 out of 35 games. They come into this game after losing to the Mercury 74:86 in another disappointing effort.
This is the third time these two teams will meet with both having won one each.

WNBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Sparks are a trainwreck
The Sparks have completely lost the plot at this point. You know things are not going well when your best scorer isn’t up to the task, i.e. Nneka Ogwumike. Brittney Sykes has been performing well but apart from her, there hasn’t be a consistent option. Jordin Canada hasn’t answered the call on the scoring end whereas the experiment to bring Liz Cambage in the middle failed miserably. The Sparks fans have suffered for two seasons in a row now.
Wings can take the foot off the gas pedal
The Wings are blessed with a lot of guard depth and have the potential to become an elite squad soon. But the trouble is that after having a winning window, they take it a bit easy and string together disappointing outings on both ends. in Ogunbowale’s absence, Mabrey has taken the keys as the major scorer whereas McCowan has been huge in the middle. The trouble is that the team lacks consistency.
Performance Predictions
Highest scorer: Marina Mabrey: 24
Highest rebounder: Teaira McCowan: 12
Top assists maker: Jordin Canada: 7
Score Prediction: Wings: 88Â Â Sparks: 80

Teaira McCowan(DAL)
Points: 07
Rebounds: 09

Center Teaira can be a strong option in the middle, both as a finisher and as a rebounder, which has helped the Wings make the Playoffs. I believe she will be in 12-18 points, 8-12 rebounds, and 1-3 blocks range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 27-42
Nneka Ogwumike(LAS)
Points: 10
Rebounds: 09
Assists: 03

Forward Nneka is a fantastic scorer and two-way player but her field goal attempts have been limited these days. I believe she will be in 14-19 points, 6-9 rebounds, and 1-3 steals range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 27-37
Allisha Gray(DAL)
Points: 13
Rebounds: 04

Jordin Canada(LAS)
Points: 08
Rebounds: 02
Assists: 05

Jordin has done her job as a playmaker but her scoring has been mostly off, which has hurt the balance. I believe she will be in 7-12 points and 5-8 assists range.

LAS vs DAL DREAM11 LINEUP BALANCERS
- Katie Lou-Samuelson(LAS) had 8 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists in the last game. Forward Katie can knock down the long ball and has been a big factor from there. I believe she will be in 6-12 points range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 17-27 - Veronica Burton(DAL) had 5 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound, 3 steals in her last game. Burton is an elite defender who can is steadily improving on the offensive end. I believe she will be in 6-11 points, 2-5 assists, and 1-3 steals range.

Expected Fantasy Points Range: 18-30 - Olivia Nelson-Ododa(LAS) had 8 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block in the last game. Center Olivia can be strong inside scorer, rebounder, and defender, but she needs to become more inconsistent. I believe she will be in 6-10 points, 5-8 rebounds, and 1-2 blocks range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 10-20
- Awak Kueir(DAL) had 4 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, 1 steal in the last game. Kueir uses her athleticism well on the defensive end but her offensive skills are not polished.
