LAS vs SEA Dream11: The WNBA is a great league and doesn’t listen to the popular narratives that the league is garbage, Nah, it ain’t. These women have mostly gone through four-year rigid basketball programs, while others have been basketball standouts internationally. And in this game, we will see an influx of talented basketball players here as the Los Angeles Sparks will host the Seattle Storm.
The Sparks have lost three out of their five games and in the last match-up, the Sparks got beaten by the Lynx 84:87 despite a 22-points night by Nneka Ogwumike. The Seattle Storm enter with a similar record but won their last game with a scoreline of 74:71 against the Chicago Sky. Young Center Magbebor showed her A-Game and banged home 21 points and 6 rebounds.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Two teams figuring it out
The Sparks have started slow this season and their three-point shooting has been their biggest drawback so far. However, the return of Katie-Lou Samuelson helped the team and she dropped three triples in the last game. However, the bulk of the load lies upon Nneka Ogwumike who is a great scoring option. Jordin Canada hasn’t gotten going after a hot start. Liz Cambage is not in her element except for a couple of nights. Lexie Brown has been decent but the Sparks need to get their outside ball going.
Storm has been having some troubles lately and one big issue has been identifying options around Loyd and Stewart. However, Ezi Magbebor figured it out in the last game and showed her best game so far in the WNBA, using a variety of moves and clinching rebounds. Gabby Williams had her best offensive night too but Stephanie Talbot has been making a case for more minutes with her rebounding and shooting. Briann January and Ephiphany Prince can be strong off the bench too.
