Game Preview
The Sparks (10-12) have seen their offense pick up the pace in recent matchups, scoring 90 or more points in the last three games. However, the defense leaves a lot of room for improvement after falling 101-92 to the Atlanta Dream, being 2-4 in the last six games. The latest game was competitive as all five starters scored in double-digits. Erica Wheeler led the team with 20 points, four assists and three rebounds. Nneka Ogwumike came next with 19 points and five rebounds, while Rae Burrell provided 18 points and four assists.
The Lynx (18-6) have taken back possession of the West’s top spot after winning three consecutive games over the Connecticut Sun, the New York Liberty and the Phoenix Mercury. Their latest 104-100 victory over the Mercury saw Kayla McBride and Olivia Miles torch the nets to finish with 70 points combined. McBride also added six rebounds and four steals, while Miles contributed with eight assists and three rebounds.
Sparks vs Lynx Predictions
The Lynx stand out as the solid favorite in this matchup, and rightfully so. Minnesota boasts a potent attack and defense that can perform well in any game. On the other hand, Los Angeles has a chance for an upset if the offense comes through with another solid display from the starting five. Our betting pick here is for the Lynx to defend a 12-point spread.
