New York Liberty News

Confirmed Lineup: Courtney Vandersloot, Sabrina Ionescu, Kennedy Burke, Leonie Fiebich, Jonquel Jones

  • Breanna Stewart (hamstring) — Out

  • Betnijah Laney-Hamilton (knee) — Out

Chicago Sky News

Confirmed Lineup: Lindsay Allen, Marina Mabrey, Chennedy Carter, Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso

  • Elizabeth Williams (knee) — Out for season

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.

Los Angeles Sparks News

Confirmed Lineup: Aari McDonald, Kia Nurse, Rickea Jackson, Azura Stevens, Dearica Hamby

  • Stephanie Talbot (foot) — Not on injury report

  • Lexie Brown (illness) — Out

  • Li Yueru (overseas commitment) — Out

  • Cameron Brink (knee) — Out for season

Dallas Wings News

Confirmed Lineup: Odyssey Sims, Jacy Sheldon, Arike Ogunbowale, Natasha Howard, Teaira McCowan

  • Jaelyn Brown (illness) — Out

  • Satou Sabally (shoulder) — Injured

  • Maddy Siegrist (finger) — Injured

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.
