Lynx vs. Tempo Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Thursday, July 30

The Tempo and Lynx meet for the third and final time this season, with Minnesota looking to complete a sweep of the season series against the WNBA's newest expansion team.

Toronto put up a much better fight in their most recent meeting, staging an inspiring fourth-quarter comeback that ultimately came up just short. The Tempo will now host Minnesota for the first time ever, though they remain significant underdogs on their own floor.

The Lynx are on pace for their third consecutive season as the Western Conference's top seed. Minnesota ranks in the top three in offensive and defensive ratings, via WNBA.com, and enters tonight as the favorite to win the WNBA Championship, returning a 2.22x payout on PrizePicks Team Picks.

With plenty of season still to play, there is no denying how dominant Cheryl Reeve's team has been in the first half of the year. Minnesota ranks second in PPG at 91.8 and allows the third-fewest points per game (83.2). Teams are shooting a league-low 42.2% against the Lynx, who have recently reintegrated former DPOY Napheesa Collier into the lineup following her recovery from ankle surgery.

They now face a Tempo side that has struggled of late with several key players unavailable. Starting shooting guard Brittney Sykes remains out with a foot injury, and her absence has been significant. Toronto is just 3-9 without their star, who provides an enormous impact on both ends of the floor.

The Tempo allow the second-most points per game to opponents this season at 93.2 and now carry the lowest defensive rating in the league (115.5) heading into tonight.

Minnesota is rightfully heavy favorites and may have little trouble completing the season sweep against Toronto this evening.
