Los Angeles Sparks (1-1) and Golden Stake Valkyries (0-1) will go head-to-head on Friday night at the Crypto.com Arena. This will be a matchup between one of the most experienced WNBA sides and the newest franchise in the competition. LA Sparks will be looking to make it a quick double over the newcomers after winning 84-67 in Game 1. LA’s experienced point guard Kelsey Plum had an impressive outing in this matchup after dropping 37 points, six assists, and two rebounds.
Besides the two-time WNBA champion, Dearcia Hamby chipped in with 14 points and 10 rebounds, whereas Rickea Jackson finished with 13 points. For the Valkyries, this loss is a reminder of how ruthless teams can be in the league. They boast a decent roster of exciting young stars like Kate Martin and bruised veterans like Tiffany Hayes and Kayla Thornton. A win over the Sparks could add belief to the team as they make their WBNA debut.

Our L.a. Sparks vs Golden State Valkyries Prediction
The Sparks will be looking to put last season's struggles behind them and get off to a bright start in 2025. Despite their recent exploits, they lost 11 of their previous 12 matches. They also finished last in the 2024 season, winning just eight games across the board.
However, acquiring Kelsey Plum from Las Vegas Aces should spark them to life and help them compete in the Western Conference. LA Sparks also have veterans like Odyssey Sims and Dearica Hamby to provide cooler heads under pressure. All things considered, the Sparks are the team to beat on Friday night.
