Two of the WNBA’s top scorers will take center stage Tuesday night in Los Angeles, as Kelsey Mitchell and the red-hot Indiana Fever roll into town to take on Kelsey Plum and a surging Sparks squad battling to stay in the playoff hunt.
Mitchell, averaging 19.5 points per game (fifth in the league), continues to shoulder the scoring load for an Indiana team that has found its rhythm, rattling off five straight wins. Their most recent triumph came on the road against the Seattle Storm, a gritty, statement-making victory that the Fever will look to build on as they chase another away win in the City of Angels.
Across the court, Plum sits just ahead of Mitchell in the scoring ranks at 20.3 points per game and remains the centerpiece of a Sparks roster pushing hard to sneak into the postseason. At 12-15, Los Angeles is 1.5 games back of the Golden State Valkyries for the eighth and final playoff spot — a gap they’re desperate to close with the regular season’s stretch run in full swing.

Los Angeles Sparks Team News
All-Star guard Kelsey Plum continues to be the heartbeat of the Los Angeles Sparks, ranking fourth in the WNBA with a scorching 20.3 points per game. She’s not just lighting it up on the scoreboard, Plum is also a maestro with the ball in her hands, sitting third in the league with six assists per outing, constantly creating scoring chances for her teammates.
Backing her up is veteran forward Dearica Hamby, who’s putting together a rock-solid campaign of her own, averaging 17.6 points and pulling down 8.1 rebounds a night. Azura Stevens has also been a steady force in the frontcourt, chipping in 14.9 points per game and snagging 8.5 boards, giving L.A. a reliable interior presence on both ends of the floor.

Indiana continues to operate without rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, who remains sidelined with a groin strain and isn’t expected to return until at least August 12. But the Fever haven’t skipped a beat. Aliyah Boston and Natasha Howard have dominated in the paint, giving the team a strong inside presence, while Mitchell has elevated her already lethal offensive game to keep Indiana firing on all cylinders.
