Chicago Sky News
Confirmed composition: Lindsay Allen, Marina Mabrey, Chennedy Carter, Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso
While Angel Reese’s 15-game double-double streak is one of the biggest stories in the WNBA right now, Carter’s rise since joining the starting lineup shouldn’t be overlooked. In 10 games since her first start on June 16, she’s averaging 21.6 points per game. That mark ranks third in the league over that span, behind only MVP favorite A’ja Wilson and Kahleah Copper.

The Sparks-Wings matchup pits the league’s two worst teams against each other. Los Angeles is 1-10 in its last 11 games, while Dallas is 2-16 in its last 18 games. As expected, since June 1, these two teams have the lowest Net Ratings in the WNBA, with the Wings sitting at -14.7, 4.4 points below LA’s standings.
