Lynx vs Sparks Betting Pick
This game will be played at Crypto.com Arena at 7:00 PM ET on Sunday, July 31, 2022.
The Los Angeles Sparks and Minnesota Lynx are among the teams fighting for the final playoff spots in the WNBA this season. That makes their matchup on Sunday evening all the more important, as both teams look to improve their chances of finishing in the top-eight. In our WNBA picks for Sunday evening, we look at Lynx vs Sparks in a battle of franchises that have seen better days in the W.
Why Bet The Lynx:
✅ This is the exact kind of game where getting rid of Liz Cambage will hurt the LA Sparks. Without Cambage, it gets much more difficult for the Sparks to defend Sylvia Fowles and keep her from controlling the glass. Expect more of Olivia Nelson-Ododa for the Sparks, which will not go well for them against one of the all-time great bigs in WNBA history.
✅ Even with Cambage, the Sparks were not able to outrebound the Lynx in either of their two previous games this season. The Sparks are tied for the fewest rebounds per game in the WNBA with the Phoenix Mercury. This matchup just seems like a favorable one for the Lynx even if these teams split the first two contests in the season series.

✅ The line for this game opened with the Lynx as a one-point underdog. They have since swung through zero to become a favorite. Getting in at Lynx -1 is likely a great move, as there is plenty of time for this line to continue to move in the direction of Minnesota.
Minnesota Lynx
The Minnesota Lynx blew the Atlanta Dream out on the road on Thursday night, getting to within two games of eighth place in the WNBA standings. The return of Sylvia Fowles has been huge for the Lynx as of late. Here, Fowles and the Lynx look for a second straight victory to move to within just one game of the final playoff spot.
For the Lynx, the question coming into this game is whether or not they can play enough defense to beat the Sparks. Minnesota should be able to put up points against a porous Sparks defense, and should be able to control the glass. But they rank ninth in the WNBA in defensive rating, which could cause problems in a very winnable game out West.
Los Angeles Sparks
The Los Angeles Sparks come into this game against the Minnesota Lynx in eighth place in the WNBA standings. They still have a long way to go if they want to make the playoffs, though, as several teams are within two or fewer games of that eighth spot. Here, the Sparks look for a better performance than the one they put forth on Thursday night, when they were blown out by the Mercury in Phoenix.
For the Sparks, the question in this game is whether or not they can figure out how to function without Liz Cambage in the paint. The Ogwumikes will always be effective contributors, and this team has plenty of guard talent. But without Cambage, the Sparks could get even worse at defending and rebounding, which they have struggled with all year anyway.
