But the Lynx aren’t just a one-woman show. They’ve been serving up teamwork like a perfectly executed TikTok dance challenge, ranking fifth in the Western Conference with 18.7 assists per game.
Lindsay Allen, one of Lynx’s key playmakers, has been dishing out an average of 4.3 assists. That severe on-court chemistry could set the stage for a high-scoring game.
The Sparks need to set the league on fire on the other side of the court. They’re 6-8 against Western Conference opponents and sit seventh in the WNBA, allowing 82.2 points while holding opponents to 46.2% shooting.
That’s like trying to win a Fortnite game with a controller with a sticky button.

This total feels low at 161.5 points. Sure, the Sparks have some serious star power in Nneka Ogwumike, averaging 19.8 points and 9.6 rebounds.
But with a record of 2-8 in their last ten games, averaging 75.8 points, the Sparks’ output doesn’t match the Lynx’s offensive prowess.
Despite some injuries, the Lynx have been grinding like a Gen Z’er trying to go viral, winning 6 of their last 10 games.
They’ve been averaging 81.8 points, 33.1 rebounds, and 19.8 assists while shooting 43.3% from the field. Those numbers smack of a team that’s ready to bring the heat and rack up the points.
So, if you’re looking for a WNBA game that will have you on the edge of your seat, clapping like a proud TikTok mom, this is it.
The Lynx have the firepower, the teamwork, and the stats to light up the scoreboard against the Sparks. It doesn’t seem very likely that the Sparks can limit the Lynx offense in this matchup.
Forget the tea and the Lynx are set to serve up a feast of points. So my advice? I bet on a high-scoring game because this one is set to be lit.
