MIN vs LAS Dream11 Prediction WNBA Live Fantasy Basketball Dream11 Team, Top Picks and Tips for Minnesota Lynx vs Los Angeles Sparks

MIN vs LAS Dream11: God I love the WNBA! There is a lot of talent on display and many of these women can flat out shoot from deep. They can play electric defense, showcase, floaters, runners, hooks, strong low-post game, driving, slashing, and on and on. Yeah, they can’t dunk but so what! Only makes the game so relatable! And in this game, the Minnesota Lynx will host the LA Sparks.

The Lynx have had a horrid start, losing all their four games and they are certainly missing Naphessa Collier. They lost a close 82:78 game to the Sky last time around despite 16 points and 11 rebounds night by Sylvia Fowles. On the other hand, the Sparks have kind of cooled off after a hot start. They have lost two in a row and in the last game, the Sun shut the shop on them, beating them 77:60. Can the Sparks as the team play their first home game?

Host: Los Angeles Sparks
Visitors: Minnesota Lynx
Match Timing: 18 May, @ 08:00 AM (+05:30 UTC)

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Lynx needs offensive prowess, Sparks can’t hit from deep

Without Naphessa Collier, the Lynx has lost an option who can both score in low-post while nailing outside shots. Fowles continues to finish inside while grabbing a ton of rebounds and playing quality defense, but the support cast around her hasn’t been that deep and they need more from the guards. Nikolina Milic had a solid game in the last outing. How will the Lynx get more from guard positions?

The Sparks have a terrible three-point shooting team and that has held them back, they are barely even to make five a game at times. They have a good running team but they lack shot creators of high quality. Nneka Ogwumike will need to score more whereas Jordin Canada has to do something about the shooting woes. Cambage has done well but Lexie Brown, Chiney Ogwumike, and Brittney Sykes have cooled off a bit.
