The sparks of Los Angeles face the fever of Indiana on August 29, in what looks like an essential game for the two teams.
The Sparks currently have a 17-19 file, which places them outside looking at the photo of the WNBA 2025 qualifiers (they are currently 1.5 games from the Golden State Valkyries, which are seed n ° 8 at the moment). The fever is 20 to 18 years old, which is enough to give them the seeded n ° 6 for the moment.
Despite what their regular season records could suggest, the Sparks have had the fever at this point in the season because they won the three competitions against Indiana in 2025.
With Caitlin Clark always sidelined with a groin injury, a large part of the defensive lens of Los Angeles will be on the star goalkeeper Kelsey Mitchell and the Aliyah Boston center. Until now, the Sparks have done a job lower than the average to keep Boston, because it has an average of 16.7 points (slightly up compared to its 15.5 points per match in 2025) and 10.3 rebounds per match (against its 8.2 season average) in its three games against Los Angeles.
Kelsey Plum becomes honest on Sparks’ strategy to keep Aliyah Boston
Kelsey Plum, the Sparks goalkeeper, spoke with John W. Davis after training in Los Angeles on August 28. At one point in the interview, PLUM was asked about how Sparks Guards can help their area before to defend Boston.
“Yeah. This is a big charge in there,” said Plum about Boston, according to John W. Davis’ YouTube channel. “She can go very well, she is super qualified, very physical. So we must make sure that if we are in the region, help yourself. And just be super encouraging. The big players make superb games in this league. You can’t give up, just go to the best game. Because it will not take place without goal.
“But yes, I thought in the past, our big ones have really fought [against Boston]So they’re going to fight tomorrow, “added Plum.
Obviously, Plum complimented Boston when she described it as “large load”, and she has a lot of respect for what Boston brings to the court for fever.
It will be fascinating to see how Boston accumulates against the center of the second year Cameron Brink, who always seeks to find her groove after her return from a torn ACL that she suffered last summer. Brink did not score in 16 minutes of action against fever on August 5.
