Fox Sports Net 2, Telemundo, NBA-TV

Site -- Staples Center.

Radio -- KWKU (1220).

Records -- Sparks 14-6, Monarchs 8-11.

Record vs. Monarchs -- 0-1.

Update -- Sacramento has dropped four of its last six, including Thursday’s 66-63 loss to Seattle, but the Monarchs always get up to play the Sparks, who are riding a six-game winning streak. The teams last played each other on June 3, when Sacramento won, 68-51. Co-coaches Karleen Thompson and Ryan Weisenberg, in their first game since Michael Cooper left, are leaning toward starting Tamika Whitmore in place of the injured DeLisha Milton-Jones, who is supposed to have surgery on her injured right knee Tuesday. Tamecka Dixon has moved back into the starting lineup ahead of rookie Laura Macchi. Sacramento guard Kara Lawson continues to make progress in her second season, averaging nine points and shooting 90.5% from the free-throw line.
