SPARKS TONIGHT

vs. Utah Starzz * 7:30 p.m.

* Site: Great Western Forum.

* Radio: KLAC (570 AM).

* Records: Utah 2-7, Sparks 2-6.

* Update: With two mainstays on crutches, the losing streak at four and their confidence now in question, the Sparks try again to crawl off the deck tonight, the start of a four-game Forum home stand. If Los Angeles is to salvage the season, tonight would be a likely starting point. Eight of its next nine games are at home. Tonight’s opponent, Utah, is the only team Los Angeles has beaten on the road. Haixia Zheng is recovering after Wednesday’s knee surgery.
