The Portland Fire (16-26) are on the road one final time this season as they take on the Los Angeles Sparks (15-26). They’ll tip it off today at 4:00 PM Pacific today before wrapping up the season on Tuesday at home against the Golden State Valkyries.

The Fire, currently in 9th place and out of playoff contention, will try to hold their surprising position in their first season back in the NBA. Their opponent today is the biggest threat to take over 9th place from the Fire. The two teams are even in the loss column, but the Fire have one more win on the season than the Sparks.

Teja Oblak and Sania Feagin are out for the Fire, and Jordan Harrison and Bridget Carleton are both questionable. For the Sparks, Cameron Brink, Dearica Hamby, and Aaliyah Nye are all doubtful.
