Sparks vs. Lynx Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Wednesday, July 15

The Sparks have spent much of this season in eighth place, but their recent skid has knocked them out of a playoff spot. With the Mystics winning six of their last 10, the two teams have switched positions in the standings. A significant factor in this recent stretch is the loss of star G Kelsey Plum, who's not only their leading scorer but also ranks second in the league with 23.9 points per game. She's been out since June 21 with a lower leg injury and will be re-evaluated next week.

F Nneka Ogwumike, F Dearica Hamby, and F-G Rae Burrell (second, third, and fourth on the team in PPG) have been leading the way, each averaging 15+ points in the six games since Plum’s absence.

The Lynx have battled with the Aces for the top spot in the standings most of the season, but they now have the Valkyries on their backs, with Golden State winning seven straight. It looks like every game could be important for the remainder of the season if these teams remain in close contention.

What gives Minnesota the advantage over the other contenders is that they're strong on both sides of the court, ranking second in both points scored (90.6) and allowed (81.7) each time out. Neither the Aces nor the Valkyries rank in the top seven in both categories. This is how Minnesota could go on an extended winning streak, and it's lost back-to-back games just once this season.
