The Los Angeles Sparks (1-2) host the Toronto Tempo (1-2) in a WNBA 2026 regular season matchup on Sunday, May 17, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.
These two clubs have already met once this season, just two days ago at this same venue. Los Angeles emerged with a 99-95 victory on Friday, giving them a 1-0 edge in their 2026 head-to-head series.
The Sparks built a commanding 20-point lead across the first three quarters before Toronto mounted a 32-point fourth-quarter push that ultimately fell short.
All five starters for the Sparks scored in double digits, led by Kelsey Plum's 27 points. Nneka Ogwumike also came through with 20 points. Cameron Brink came off the bench to contribute 10 points.
Brittney Sykes led the Tempo by stuffing the stat sheet with 27 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, and 4 steals. She also went 11-11 from the free-throw line.
Through three games, Sykes is averaging 19.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 2.7 steals. Her co-star, Mabrina Mabrey, is also producing 20.0 points on 38.5% shooting from the three-point line.
The Tempo might need more from their supporting cast to avenge their loss to the Sparks.

Our L.a. Sparks vs Toronto Tempo Prediction
The Sparks dominated the interior in the first meeting against the Tempo, with six of their players scoring in double digits. Kelsey Plum had her fingerprints all over the win, scoring and dishing out the rock.
The Tempo relied heavily on Brittney Sykes last Friday, and they'll need more out of Marina Mabrey on Sunday. Still, the Sparks head into this rematch as the favorites. Our prediction for the Los Angeles Sparks vs Toronto Tempo match is: Sparks (-7.5) cover the spread.
