Lynx Are Banged Up

The Lynx are banged up heading into this game but they were still able to secure a victory in the last game. The Lynx faced off against the Washington Mystics, and they were able to secure a 74-67 victory. In the 4th quarter they outscored them 19-10 and they were able to secure the victory. Courtney Williams and Kayla McBride both scored 17 points to secure the Lynx. There were four different players that put up at least 10 points. The Lynx on the season is averaging 82.1 points while their defense is giving up 74.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 5th in the league while the defense is ranked 2nd.  Naphessa Collier is dealing with a foot injury and is currently day-to-day. It’s unclear if she’s going to be able to go in this game. Kayla McBride is averaging 15.8 points while shooting 44.2 percent from the field. 

Sparks Coming Off Another Loss

The Sparks are coming off another loss and they really struggled in the last game against the Phoenix Mercury. The Sparks scored 78 points but the defense gave up 84 points and they ended up losing by six points. Dearica Hamby put up 25 points, nine rebounds, and one assist. Rickea Jackson put up 22 points, six rebounds, and three assists. The Sparks are averaging 79 points while their defense is giving up 85.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 10th in the league while the defense is ranked 10th in the league. Dearica Hamby is averaging 19.1 points while shooting 51.4 percent from the field. 

Minnesota Lynx vs Los Angeles Sparks Prediction

The Lynx defense has been good, and if they can’t go without Collier here, this is going to be a long game. The Lynx are averaging 82.1 points per game, but I expect they are going to keep this pace slow. The Lynx especially without Collier aren’t going to have as much offensive success and that is going to lead to this game being lower scoring. Neither team will reach 80 points here. Back the under to cash.
