Los Angeles at Minnesota

The Minnesota Lynx have had their way with their first two opponents, but being it was against Chicago and Indiana, the competition level takes a sharp turn upward tonight when they face the LA Sparks. LA is off of one of their worst performances in recent memory, shooting just 26% vs Detroit and connecting on just 3-21 from deep. I look for this team to be itching to get out on the floor and redeem a poor effort. The addition of Tina Thompson has already paid dividends for the Sparks as she is their leading scorer at 16.6ppg. Sparks come back strong after an ATS loss, covering their last five, while the Lynx have taken the collar at 0-6 ATS in their last six vs the West. I'm going with LA in this one.
