Perhaps the prospect of spoiling Las Vegas\u2019 ability to reach the No. 2 spot is motivation enough for Los Angeles to get up for this game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start time and TV schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>Who:<\/strong> Los Angeles Sparks vs. Las Vegas Aces<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>Watch:<\/strong> Spectrum Sportsnet<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Even if the Sparks had a lot to play for, beating the Aces was always going to be tough. Las Vegas has won 15 straight games and is playing the best basketball in the WNBA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A\u2019ja Wilson is a big reason why. She\u2019s playing at an MVP level and has been unstoppable during this run. Even before this current win streak, she\u2019s been as dominant as ever. The last time the Sparks played against the Aces, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverscreenandroll.com\/2025\/7\/29\/24477098\/sparks-vs-aces-final-score-recap-stats-cam-brink-dearica-hamby-kelsey-plum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Las Vegas won and Wilson scored 34 points<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Slowing Wilson down is always an arduous task, but with the Sparks being a bad defensive team, she could end up destroying L.A. and finishing her regular season with one of her best games of 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The tricky part for the Sparks is that they might be playing with less than their complete roster. Los Angeles has nothing to compete for in this game and it\u2019s the final one of the year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Considering that most of their starting lineup has been logging 30-plus minutes for months now, it would make sense to finally give them some rest in this last game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If the Sparks do go with that option, then young players like rookie Sarah Ashlee Barker and Sania Feagin will have a chance to show what they can do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Additionally, some bench players may get a chance to see the starting lineup. Cameron Brink has been great since she\u2019s returned from injury and Julie Vanloo and Alissa Pili would certainly love a chance to play extended minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If the Sparks do play this game with essentially everyone available, as they did on Tuesday, then it\u2019ll be one last chance to evaluate this roster and see how it performs against one of the best teams in the WNBA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For Las Vegas, this game still matters since a win over Los Angeles would secure the No. 2&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":217245,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[13157,62,67,132,68,232],"class_list":{"0":"post-217244","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-la-sparks","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us","13":"tag-wnba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115183701812156914","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217244\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
