Minnesota Lynx vs LA Sparks prediction

The LA Sparks are favored to win the game despite playing on the road and against one of the best teams in the league.

Considering the Minnesota Lynx’s secured spot in the playoffs, they may opt to play with their secondary players in the game against the Sparks.

Expect the Sparks to go all out to take the win, as this could be a morale-boosting win for the franchise heading into the next season.

Meanwhile, the Lynx has already secured a 30-win season after beating the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday. Their opponents have not won a game since August 29, when they upset the New York Liberty for their seventh win of the season. LA has also lost 15 of their last 16 games this season.

As the Lynx is expected to bench key players ahead of the playoffs, the game is a golden opportunity for LA’s young core to get offensive.
