The Minnesota Lynx are looking to build on their win over the Los Angeles Sparks in their last game when they take them on again on Friday night.

Los Angeles, to its credit, bounced back with a blowout win over the Dallas Wings on Wednesday night on the road.

The Sparks enter this game with the No. 4 net rating in the WNBA while Minnesota is down at No. 10. Los Angeles could be in trouble with three rotation players (Layshia Claredon, Chiney Ogwumike and Katie Lou Samuelson) listed as out for this matchup.

However, the team did win on Wednesday night without any of them. Let's dive into the odds and my best bet for this game:

Lynx vs. Sparks odds, spread and total

Lynx vs. Sparks prediction and pick

The Lynx won by six at home in the first meeting between these teams, but now they are on the road against a Sparks team that is 3-1 at home this season.

Los Angeles should put up some big scoring numbers again on Friday night, as the Lynx rank dead last in the WNBA in defensive rating.

The OVER has hit in five of the Sparks' nine games and four of Minnesota's nine game, but I think this matchup lines up well for a high-scoring affair.

Since the Sparks' bad loss to the Seattle Storm (66-63), they have scored at least 77 points in three straight games.

Meanwhile, the Lynx have seven games this season where at least one team scored 80 or more points. Given how close these teams rank in pace, I expect this to be a rather fluid matchup where offense reigns supreme.

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
