Could the Sparks pull off the upset?

Sparks G Kelsey Plum, who has posted 23.9 PPG over 12 games, will miss her sixth consecutive game.\u00a0<\/p>\n Dream C Brionna Jones is nearing her 2026 debut following right knee surgery. She\u2019s currently listed as questionable. If Jones cannot go, Atlanta may feature a thin frontcourt, as F Angel Reese (leg) is questionable and missed July 11\u2019s matchup vs. the Portland Fire.<\/p>\n Fortunately for the Dream, Sparks C Cameron Brink (ankle) will miss her eighth consecutive game tonight alongside Plum. That may help cover up the potential absence of Reese.<\/p>\n As mentioned, Los Angeles posted 102 and 106 points in its last two games. According to WNBA.com<\/a>, the Sparks\u2019 107.2 offensive rating ranks ninth compared to their 112.2 defensive rating (14th).<\/p>\n Atlanta\u2019s 104.6 defensive rating (fourth-best) is a tough challenge for L.A., and its last two opponents (the Sky and Fever) were 11th and eighth in the category. In the Sparks\u2019 previous four wins, they tallied 104.3 PPG, meaning a high-scoring game could be required for an upset win tonight.<\/p>\n Sparks vs. Dream Spread, Over\/Under \u2013 Monday, July 13<\/p>\n Sparks G Kelsey Plum (23.9 PPG) continues to miss time with a leg injury, contributing to Los Angeles in a major underdog role tonight.

That suggests a higher volume for Los Angeles\u2019 30.8% rim attempt frequency (eighth).The Sparks total 41.4 points in the paint per game (second-most), and that increased to 50.0 paint points per contest over their last two games.Atlanta yields a 33.6% rim shot frequency that ranks as the fourth-highest mark in the WNBA.Further, Dream F Angel Reese carries the best defensive rating (100.4) in the starting lineup. If she\u2019s absent, Atlanta\u2019s interior defense becomes more troublesome.Atlanta\u2019s offense carries the highest rim attempt frequency (40.9%), and Los Angeles does a solid job of limiting looks around the rim with a 28.9% frequency allowed (seventh-lowest).The Sparks are at a clear disadvantage on the glass, holding a 47.9% rebounding rate (tied for 11th) compared to the Dream\u2019s 52.3% mark (second). However, if Atlanta is lacking Reese\u2019s 11.7 rebounds per game (RPG), that helps alleviate the worry.After covering back-to-back point spreads, L.A. has an angle to cover by holding its own around the rim. Meanwhile, Atlanta has failed to cover eight consecutive games.Lock in our Sparks vs. Dream prediction on PrizePicks before tip-off.<\/a>Sparks vs. Dream Picks, Player Stats for PrizePicks: 7\/13\/26<\/p>\n Here are the top Sparks vs. Dream picks to target on Monday, July 13.
