The Los Angeles Sparks face the Dallas Wings on Sunday in Arlington following a loss to the Chicago Sky. This season, the Wings have defeated the Sparks once already, winning 104-96 on June 5. Dallas is on a five-game winning streak, bolstered by Arike Ogunbowale's scoring and Paige Bueckers' playmaking. The Sparks are without Kelsey Plum due to injury, putting added pressure on Nneka Ogwumike to lead the team.
