Two games will happen in the WNBA on Thursday night. One of the matches is going to be between Los Angeles Sparks and Indiana Fever. After 23 games, the Sparks have 8 wins, 15 wins and 9th place in the standings while Fever has 6 wins, 17 losses and 11th place. In this game, I predict that the Fever won't lose by more than 2 points.

Both teams played against each other 2 days ago. That was a bit of a roller-coaster as Los Angeles got a big lead in the 3rd quarter but Indiana managed to come back in the 4th. In the end, Jordin Canada made a go-ahead three-pointer 3 seconds before the end of the regulation and the Sparks won 79:78. Los Angeles ended their 8-game losing streak while Indiana lost 2nd game in a row.

Both teams shot very well two-pointers but a big difference was from the three-point land. While the Sparks made shots with 37% accuracy, the Fever had only 27% made shots. I'm sure this is going to change because overall this season, Indiana makes three-pointers with 32.5% and the accuracy is even better on the road - 34.6%. As for the Sparks, they make three-pointers with 31.9% overall and 29.6% at home which shows that the last game was an outlier. There is going to be one big difference from the previous match. The Sparks' 3rd best scorer Lexie Brown won't be available tonight and that is a huge loss. She averages 12.4 points per game. Karlie Samuelson is going to be back but she averages just 7.6 points per game.

Overall this season, the Sparks have struggled at home as they have 6 wins and 6 losses at home, and 3 wins have been against teams like the Sky, Storm and Mercury. The Fever isn't the best road team with 5 wins and 10 losses but only 1 win has been at home. Indiana has been playing well recently despite many losses. The team beat the Mystics on the road, lost the Liberty only in overtime, lost to the Wings just by a point and lost by just 2 points to the Sky.

While there's a 2-win difference between teams, the net rating is almost identical. I'm confident that Indiana is going to be very motivated tonight and they will want to get revenge. It's hard to win back-to-back against the same team, and the early start should help Indiana, especially with Los Angeles not having Brown on the floor.

周四晚上将有两场比赛在WNBA进行。其中一场比赛将在洛杉矶火花队和印第安纳热火队之间进行。经过23场比赛，火花队取得8胜15胜，排名第9位，而热火队取得6胜17负，排名第11位。在这场比赛中，我预测热火队不会输超过两分。

两队两天前打了一场比赛。湖人队在第三节取得了巨大的领先，但步行者队在第四节成功扳回比分，这有点像过山车。最后，在比赛结束前3秒，加拿大乔丹投中一记三分，火花队以79:78获胜。洛杉矶结束了他们的8连败，步行者连输2场。

两队的两分球都投得很好，但最大的区别是在三分球上。火花队有37%的命中率，而热火队只有27%的命中率。我相信这将会改变，因为整个赛季，步行者的三分球命中率为32.5%，而在客场的命中率甚至更高——34.6%。至于火花队，他们的三分球命中率为31.9%，主场命中率为29.6%，这表明上一场比赛是一个异常值。与上一场比赛有一个很大的不同。火花队的第三得分手布朗今晚不能上场，这是一个巨大的损失。她场均得12.4分。卡莉·萨缪尔森将会回归，但她场均只有7.6分。

总的来说，这个赛季，火花队在主场表现不佳，他们在主场取得了6胜6负，其中3场胜利是对阵天空队、风暴队和水星队。热火队不是最好的客场球队，5胜10负，但只有1胜是在主场。步行者队最近打得不错，尽管输了很多场。这支球队在客场击败了神秘队，在加时赛中输给了自由队，输给了翅膀队仅仅一分，输给了天空队仅仅2分。

虽然两队之间有2胜的差距，但净收视率几乎是一样的。我相信步行者今晚会很有动力，他们会想要复仇。要在同一支球队的比赛中赢得背靠背的胜利是很困难的，而且开局较早应该会对步行者有帮助，尤其是在湖人没有布朗在场的情况下。
