While Angel Reese's 15-game double-double streak is one of the top WNBA storylines at the moment, Carter's ascension since moving into 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, trailing only MVP favorite A'ja Wilson and Kahleah Copper.
Confirmed Lineup: Aari McDonald, Kia Nurse, Rickea Jackson, Azura Stevens, Dearica Hamby

The contest between the Sparks and Wings pits the league's two worst teams against one another. Los Angeles is 1-10 over its last 11 matches, while Dallas is 2-16 in its last 18 games. As one might expect, since June 1, these two teams have the lowest Net Ratings in the WNBA, including a -14.7 mark for the Wings that is 4.4 points lower than LA's rating.
