The WNBA season is heating up with some great matchups. In our Sparks vs Lynx WNBA pick, Los Angeles seeks to build on their momentum as they head to Minnesota. The Lynx will look for a bounce-back win.

Sparks Looking to Gain Momentum

Los Angeles improved to 4-7 following their confident win over the Aces. It’s been a rocky start for a team with one of the most talented frontcourts in the WNBA. Ending their losing streak was a big step in the right direction, spurred on by 2024 1st-round pick Rickea Jackson, who exploded for 30 points and 7 boards. When 2025 1st-round pick Cameron Brink returns to the mix, the Sparks will get even more competitive.

Lynx Seek Bounce Back Win at Home

The Lynx finally took their first defeat of the season on Wednesday, falling in Seattle to the Storm by 10 points. Their offense continued to play well, but some holes were exposed in their defense. Seattle finished with 30 assists and a 56.5% FG% creating some areas for Minnesota to work on. As they aim to reach all-around perfection, Napheesa Collier continues to stand as the clear MVP frontrunner, averaging 25/9/3/2.

Sparks vs Lynx WNBA Pick

With Los Angeles finally moving in the right direction, this should be a pretty competitive game. That being said, they don’t have the same elite guard play that allowed Seattle to exploit Minnesota’s defensive scheme. They lost by 14 to the Lynx a month ago, but should be better equipped to compete with them now. Ultimately, Minnesota should stay unbeaten at home, but don’t be surprised if LA covers the spread.
