WNBA All-Star game scouting report
PREV
TV: Ch. 4
Scouting report
The East has two questionable starters in Kara Braxton and Anna DeForge, who probably rode the benefit of being on successful teams to be voted as All-Stars.
But the bench in the East is strong and the conference might take this game more seriously since it has posted a 1-6 record at the event. The West was embarrassed in a 98-82 loss last summer, so look for splashy play from Deanna Nolan and watch out for Ashja Jones, but look for Lauren Jackson and the West to dominate. The West won 81-76 in 2002 in D.C.
Today: 12:30 p.m. @ Washington, D.C., TV: Ch. 4
Prediction
West 105, East 98
