Minnesota is coming off a tough road loss against the surging Phoenix Mercury, but this Los Angeles team is nowhere near as stingy. The Sparks have the third-worst average point differential in the W (minus-4.9) and have already lost to the Lynx three times this season. Minnesota has beaten Los Angeles by an average score of 90.7 to 73. The Sparks' closest outing was a 14-point loss in the second game of the season. Given L.A.'s defensive problems, I have Minnesota winning 90-78 as part of my Lynx vs. Sparks prediction.

Given the way the Lynx have handled business against the Sparks this season, taking Minnesota to cover as a 6.5-point favorite isn't a bad call at all. However, I'm going with the Over instead, simply because the Lynx are playing the second leg of a back-to-back and struggled to slow the Mercury yesterday, who were down both Satou Sabally and Kahleah Copper. That said, parlaying the Lynx -6.5 with the Over at FanDuel isn't a bad idea - the +214 odds pay a $21.40 profit on a $10 winning bet.

But if I'm making just one best bet today for this matchup, it's the Over - and the -110 odds from Caesars are the best on the market with our other best sports betting sites a tad longer at -115. Given the Lynx's dominant offensive play behind MVP favorite Napheesa Collier - they're No. 1 in offensive rating (110.3) and field-goal percentage (46.2%) - Minnesota should hammer a Sparks defense that has the second-worst defensive rating (110.4) and allows the second-most points per game (110.4).

Los Angeles, though, should be able to help this Over hit. It plays fast - sitting No. 4 in pace (78.2) - and can score consistently enough - No. 7 in offensive rating (104.2). Kelsey Plum is the key to it all, with the three-time All-Star being third in the W in points per game (20.1) and fifth in 3-pointers (2.4). The Sparks' style of play lends to the Over hitting; they have the best Over record in the league (11-7-1).

Although Thomas is climbing the oddsboard and has jumped Caitlin Clark for the second-shortest WNBA MVP odds, Collier is still the runaway favorite. Her -400 odds to win MVP imply an 80% probability she'll take the award home, and rightfully so.

The four-time All-Star leads the league in points per game (23.9) and ranks eighth in rebounds per game (7.9), while being No. 1 in PER (30.2), No. 2 in offensive win shares (2.8), and No. 4 in offensive rating (119.7). The Sparks aren't equipped to slow her down, and Collier has gone Over this number 10 times this season, including going for a combined 40 points and rebounds the last time she played L.A.
