Minnesota at Los Angeles

This is a big revenge game for Minnesota, which lost to the Sparks in the final seconds in the home opener 77-76 and the Lynx might have been looking ahead to this matchup on Friday when they lost to Phoenix. Los Angeles hasn't played since last Sunday when they beat the Mercury 80-72 as Candace Parker played her first game of the season after minor back surgery and scored 10 points off the bench. The Sparks have had problems defensively as they are allowing opponents a .492 field goal percentage. The Sparks are averaging 84.5 points per game and allowing 80.0. Los Angeles has gone OVER five of its last seven games following a win going back to last season and the Lynx went OVER by by nearly 24 points against the Mercury. Look for Minnesota to get payback, so play the Lynx and the OVER.
