The Minnesota Lynx are quickly ruining their delightful tank for Iowa superstar Caitlin Clark. Okay, okay, that is mostly facetious. But by opening the season with six straight losses, Minnesota opened itself to those barbs.
Then it won two out of the next three games, including on Sunday against these Sparks, though that game was in the original home of the Lakers, not the adopted one.
Looking through the box score of that five-point Lynx win, the free-throw disparity stands out most. Frankly, Los Angeles’s numbers would have otherwise indicated a usual performance and thus probably a win. Shooting 32 percent from three was within reach of its usual rate, and committing 10 turnovers was actually better than usual. Minnesota was not particularly on fire, hitting just 7 of 26 from deep.
But the Lynx attempted 25 free throws, making 24 of them. Minnesota has averaged just 20.3 free throw attempts per game this season. Sunday was not a season-high, but it should be noted that the other four times the Lynx shot at least 20 free throws, they lost. They also have not made more than 22 free throws in a game other than Sunday.
Sure, that’s only two points, but that kind of swing would have given the Los Angeles Sparks a lead in the last minute. They may have won and covered as one-point favorites if not for the absurd quantity and quality of Minnesota’s free throws.
Los Angeles, meanwhile, took just 15 free throws on Sunday, down from its season average of 19.2. In their eight other games, the Sparks have shot 20 or more free throws in half of them. Remove a 28-point blowout loss to Las Vegas in which Los Angeles took just nine free throws and its season average rises to 20.5 attempts.
Sunday’s 15 stands out.
Chalk some of that up to the Lynx's discipline, giving up only 15.7 free throws per game, No. 2 in the league. But also chalk up some of Minnesota’s influx of free throws to home-court advantage, given Los Angeles ranks No. 4 in free throws allowed.
This is only one aspect of the game, but it stood out Sunday, and it should not continue tonight, particularly not with the change in venue.
The Sparks have not lost against the spread at home this season. They should be primed for a revenge moment tonight and enjoy a regression to the means at the free-throw line. My best bet: Sparks -5 (-110 at Caesar's) Not intended for use in MA. Affiliate Disclosure: Covers may receive advertising commissions for visits to a sportsbook or betting site. Best WNBA bonuses
