On Sunday, there are just two games on the WNBA season schedule, but one of those features a matchup of powerhouse teams. It will be former WNBA MVP Elena Delle Donne and the Washington Mystics visiting the reigning champion Los Angeles Sparks.
Today's game features two of the league's MVP winners, with Nneka Ogwumike the reigning MVP and Delle Donne, a former winner. Here are the latest details on the Mystics vs.
Sparks matchup including game odds and how to watch the game on live stream or television Sunday.
Game preview
Coming into today's game, the Los Angeles Sparks hold the second-best record in the league at 11-3, but also sport a perfect 6-0 record on their home court. They'll host the Mystics at the Staples Center, where L.A. puts a seven-game winning streak on the line. Most recently, they defeated the Atlanta Dream 85-76 on the road. Other teams that have fallen to L.A. during their run include Connecticut, Phoenix, Dallas, and Indiana.
The Washington Mystics are 10-5 and sport their own winning streak of three-straight games.
They took down the New York Liberty 67-54 at home, as well as the Seattle Storm in a 100-70 blowout. However, today's task is tough as they'll look to try to hand the Sparks a first home loss of the WNBA season. Offseason trade acquisition Elena Delle Donne and Ivory Latta will look to continue their momentum from the win over New York in today's matchup.
Odds makers have the home team Sparks as 5.5-point favorites on the spread. On the moneyline, the Sparks are -280 favorites compared to the +235 price for the visitors at many books. The over/under points total is currently at 167 points for the complete game.
