The Sky (10-15) are coming off a loss to the Mercury on Thursday and hope to get back on track as they open a three-game road trip with the chance to improve on their 6-6 road record. The Sparks (6-19) are on a two-game slide and look to add to their 4-9 home record.

They struggled offensively in the last outing, scoring only 65 points, which is well below their season average of 78.7 points per game. Angel Reese, Kamilla Cardoso, Dana Evans led the scoring effort in the loss but will have to step up their effort to change the end result. Rachel Banham and Michaela Onyenwere have picked up increased roles lately and must stand out as difference makers.

Hamby is averaging 19.0 points and ranks fourth in the league with an average of 10.1 rebounds per game. Azura Stevens and Rickea Jackson are the squad's next two top scorers and rebounders, while Kia Nurse, Li Yueru, Rae Burrell and Layshia Clarendon must continue to step up for their shorthanded squad.
