Golden State Valkyries (31-12) at Los Angeles Sparks (16-27) — Game Preview
The Golden State Valkyries (31-12) bring a clinched playoff spot into Crypto.com Arena, sitting one game behind the Western Conference leader, while the Los Angeles Sparks (16-27) play out the string after being eliminated. Los Angeles is the higher-scoring team at 87.3 points per game to Golden State’s 82.3, but the Valkyries take far better care of the ball, turning it over 10.4 times a night against the Sparks’ 14.5. Nneka Ogwumike anchors the Sparks, leading the club in points and rebounds at 17.3 and 8.9 per game.
Gabby Williams heads a balanced Golden State attack at 14.4 points, and Veronica Burton sets it up with 5.7 assists per game. Dearica Hamby is listed as day-to-day with a knee injury, which matters for a Los Angeles frontcourt already missing Cameron Brink. Golden State took both earlier meetings, 78-58 in June and 84-78 in August.
