Tonight

vs. Utah, 7:30

* Site--Great Western Forum.

* Radio--KPLS (830).

* 1999 record vs. Starzz--2-2.

* Update--Utah’s Adrienne Goodson finished last season with 26 consecutive games scoring in double figures, and the Sparks are bent on not letting her start another. Generating an inside offense is another formidable L.A. challenge tonight. Margo Dydek, the 7-foot-2 Utah center from Poland, led the WNBA with 2.41 blocks per game last summer. She also averaged 12.6 points and 6.4 rebounds in support of 6-2 Natalie Williams. Dydek, nursing a sore lower back, came off the bench in Utah’s fourth and final preseason game to score 11 points in 14 minutes against Minnesota last week.

* Tickets--$7.50-$35.
