Read Time:2 Minute, 18 Second

The Minnesota Lynx vs LA Sparks matchup is one of two WNBA games scheduled on Sunday. Both teams are coming off victories in their season openers, and only squad can keep their winning ways going.

On Friday, the Lynx defeated the Dallas Wings 99-84, spoiling the debut of top overall pick Paige Bueckers. That same day, the Sparks prevailed 84-67 over the Golden State Valkyries, who were playing their first regular season game as the newest expansion team in the league.

Both the Lynx and the Sparks, of course, have an ax to grind from last season as Minnesota fell short in the WNBA Finals while LA finished dead last in the standings.
