My Prediction
Los Angeles Sparks by 7People, let's talk the talk and rock the walk as we get into the heart of this riveting face off between Golden State Valkyries and the Los Angeles Sparks. A power struggle in the truest sense and a smorgasbord for stat junkies where the Valkyries are showing off players like Veronica Burton and Kayla Thornton who seem to have developed a taste for consistency. Burton and Thornton, both sharing stats of 12.8 and 13.0 points per game respectively, have been a beacon of stability for the Valkyries.
But the plot thickens as we move on to the Los Angeles Sparks who are home to the cunning Kelsey Plum and the relentless Dearica Hamby. Plum, who's been dropping an impressive 21.6 points on the opposition like she's sprinkling confetti at a ticker-tape parade, and Hamby chipping in with a clean 17.9 points per game of her own, is a vision to behold.
Let's rewind a bit and revisit the past. They've exchanged blows quite evenly in the recent skirmishes, though the Valkyries do hold the bragging rights with a 15 point win in their last confrontation.
In the regular season, their dance card is a mirror image with the Valkyries and the Sparks each having 3 wins to their name and filling up the second half of the leaderboard. The Valkyries boast a recent, morale-boosting thrashing of the Las Vegas Aces but the Sparks have also turned up the heat with a solid win over the Dallas Wings.
A tantalizing contest is in the making and it appears the scales are slightly tipped. Hold onto your hats because we might witness a Spark ignite.
