There should be an upbeat atmosphere for the Sparks’ first game at Crypto.com Arena after starting their season in Long Beach. Indiana is a downtrodden team at the moment.

Los Angeles Sparks News, Injury Report, Schedule: Brink Sets Defensive Foundation

Losers of their first two games, the Sparks bounced back by beating the Washington Mystics a few days ago. Lexie Brown, Dearica Hamby, and Kia Nurse carried the offense, while rookie sensation Cameron Brink delivered in a big way on the defensive end with four blocks.

Los Angeles projects to be a good defensive team with Brink protecting the paint. They also lead the league in rebounding percentage in an early-season small sample, which should stand them in good stead against a Fever team which ranks 11th in defensive rebounding rate.

Looking after the ball is a key for Los Angeles on Friday night. They have turned the ball over in almost a quarter of their possessions.

Indiana Fever News, Injury Report, Schedule: Woeful Defence Continues

Indiana is trending in the right direction with their losing margins decreasing. They are still 0-5, however, and need to turn things around sooner rather than later. Facing a fellow rebuilding team in the Sparks should be a decent opportunity to do just that.

Caitlin Clark looked more like her college self against the Seattle Storm last time out, but she was still held to 37.5% from the field and poor three-point shooting. Their defense is the worst in the league by a huge margin.

Sparks vs Fever H2H: Massive Advantage For Sparks

The Los Angeles Sparks have a 38-14 record against the Indiana Fever. Los Angeles has won the last four meetings and has not lost a season series to the Fever since 2010.

Of those four recent wins, only one has been by double digits. The Sparks, though, have been especially dominant when playing the Fever in Los Angeles.
