Rebekkah Brunson is third in the league in rebounding (10.3 per game).

Sparks at a glance: Candace Parker is second in the WNBA in blocked shots (2.60 per game), and Los Angeles (3-2 and second to the Lynx in the Western Conference) has the league's best team field-goal percentage (. 497). Los Angeles holds opponents to league-low 28.6 percent shooting from beyond the arc. This is the first of five meetings between the teams this season.
