The Los Angeles Sparks and Minnesota Lynx will meet in a nationally televised matchup in the WNBA on Friday night. While LA is going through some growing pains with a young nucleus, the Lynx are playing some of the best basketball in the W. That has resulted in the Lynx being a heavy favorite tonight, while the Sparks will aim to upset them in Minneapolis. Continue reading for our WNBA betting picks for Sparks vs Lynx.
This game will be played at Target Center at 7:30 PM ET on Friday, June 14, 2024.
Los Angeles Sparks
The LA Sparks enter Friday night with a record of 4-8. That has them in ninth place in the WNBA standings, just outside of the top-eight spots that they need to occupy in order to make the postseason. Los Angeles lost their last game by 16 points to the Seattle Storm and Curt Miller’s team will be looking to avoid a second straight blowout loss on the road in this Sparks vs Lynx contest.
Right now, figuring out where the scoring is going to come from for this Sparks team is a challenge. Outside of Dearica Hamby, who is playing at an All-Star level this season, no player on the Sparks is averaging double-digits in scoring in 2024. Finding a consistent source of scoring outside of Hamby is a must if this team wants to be competitive on a regular basis, especially when they do not have home-court advantage.
Minnesota Lynx
The Minnesota Lynx are in third place in the WNBA standings with a record of 9-3. They have outscored opponents by an average of 10.7 points per game on the season, the highest average margin in the league so far this year. And with the Lynx entering this game as double-digit favorites against the Sparks, another lopsided result is expected at Target Center tonight.
Minnesota’s ability to shoot the three-point shot has made them very difficult to beat early this season. The Lynx are shooting 41.8% from three-point range as a team, which is by far the best percentage in the league this season, as no other team is shooting 35% or better going into Friday’s games. With the ability to score from anywhere on the floor, this Lynx team might not be a fluke and could be here to stay near the top of the WNBA hierarchy in 2024.
