LA 85/MIN 82

Prime VideoTarget Center
The preview

Los Angeles Sparks head into Target Center to face a Minnesota Lynx team that's been eating everybody up this season, sitting at 25-6 while LA limps in at 11-18. Vegas has this one lopsided, Lynx favored by 16.5 with the over/under at 188.5, which tells you Minnesota's expected to run this like a clinic from tip to buzzer.

The Sparks just don't have the depth to hang with Minnesota's buckets in the paint and splash from deep for four quarters straight. Bold prediction: Lynx cover easy and it's a laugher by the third, Sparks take the L by 20-plus.
