Wings vs Sparks Preview, Prediction, Injuries, Lineups, Odds & Where to Watch – WNBA 2025 (June 6)

The Dallas Wings will host the Los Angeles Sparks for a WNBA Commissioner's Cup matchup on Friday, June 6, 2025. Neither of the teams has delivered up to the expectations this year. The Sparks are languishing at the sixth spot on the Western Conference while the Wings are below at the seventh spot on the same table. Both of them are on a three-game losing streak, so there are chances for both of them to break it.

The Sparks will be relying on Dearica Hamby and Kelsey Plum for the redemption in the upcoming game. On the other hand, the Wings are missing Paige Bueckers from the roster. So Arike Ogunbowale will be leading the charge for the Dallas Wings. Here is a detailed preview of the upcoming 2025 WNBA Commissioner's Cup matchup between the Dallas Wings and the Los Angeles Sparks.

Wings Predicted Lineup

The Wings' lineup is led by Arike Ogunbowale, who is averaging 16.1 points per game. With key players like Bueckers and Tyasha out, the team relies on contributions from Siegrist and DiJonai to support Ogunbowale.

Wings vs Sparks Players To Watch

Game by game, either teams display the most consistent performers or gives away a new star in each game. Therefore, according to this norm, the Dallas Wings have DiJonai Carrington, who is the most consistent for the team this year. Despite the focus on a young team this year, a five-year-old veteran is performing well for the Wings. On the other hand, the Los Angeles Sparks have a squad full of star players, but these stars have delivered flashes of success so far. So let's move ahead with the players who carry the momentum and can nullify other teams' hopes for a recovery in the Commissioner's Cup.

DiJonai Carrington (Dallas Wings)

DiJonai Carrington, as a guard, has played all eight games for the Dallas Wings this season since the start. She has averaged 13.0 points, 4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists this season. During all these games, she has maintained a field goal percentage of 38.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 33.3%. It is worth noting that Carrington was a round 2 pick 20 during her draft year.

Her offensive scoring and three-point shooting have improved. In the 2024 season, she dished out 12.7 points and 5.0 rebounds with a beyond-the-arc accuracy of 40.3%. In the last matchup against the Seattle Storm, DiJonai recorded 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Odyssey Sims (Los Angeles Sparks)

The veteran guard for the Los Angeles Sparks was on a roll in the last game. She dished out a whopping 32 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists against the Phoenix Mercury on June 1. Last season, in 2024, she was playing for the Sparks, averaging 12.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 5.3 assists. She shot 48.3% from the floor and 34.5% from the three-point line.

Like DiJonai, Odyssey Sims has also played all eight games for the Sparks. In 31.3 minutes of average playing time, Sims has tallied 11.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 0.8 assists. With a field goal percentage of 43.5%, Odyssey has surged her three-point shooting to 37.5%.

Wings vs Sparks Prediction: Who will win?

Both Dallas Wings and Los Angeles Sparks are on a losing hat-trick for the past three games. It is surprising for both of them since the Sparks have players like Kelsey Plum, Odyssey Sims, and Dearica Hamby. On the other hand, even the Wings have a 2025 WNBA draft winner like Paige Bueckers. Moreover, they have stars like DiJonai Carrington and Arike Ogunbowale on the team, yet they have just won a single game in the 2025 WNBA regular season so far.

Paige Bueckers has not played since the commencement of the WNBA Commissioner's Cup this year. The last game that she played was against the Chicago Sky, tallying 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists on May 29. So far, DiJonai has been the most consistent this season. In the most recent matchup of the 2025 season, Carrington recorded 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists.

The Los Angeles Sparks are not putting up the best team combination on the court so far. Each game is an opportunity for one of the starting lineup players to shine. However, the problem is, only one or two of the starters are giving a breakout performance while the others are delivering an underwhelming start. For example, in the previous fixture against the Phoenix Mercury, veteran guard Odyssey Sims dished out 32 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.

So the Los Angeles Sparks will only get an edge in the upcoming game if they have a perfect team combo. Otherwise, the Dallas Wings have the upper hand due to the team efforts that they have been putting in this season. Moreover, both teams are missing key players like Cameron Brink and Paige Bueckers. For now, Wings and Sparks are missing two players each. Here is a prediction about the Friday night matchup between the Dallas Wings and the Los Angeles Sparks.

Prediction:

Our prediction is Dallas Wings winning the matchup by an 83-76 score line with a winning chance of about 67%.
