Lynx vs. Sparks Odds & Betting Predictions - June 18, 2026

My model has this rated as the toughest matchup for Hamby specifically to rack up rebounds. Hamby tends to do most of her damage on missed 3-pointers, while Nneka Ogwumike handles a larger share of the missed 2-point opportunities. Looking at Hamby’s rebound rates by specific zones, the Lynx provide the fewest favorable rebound opportunities in the league for her. Kelsey Plum is currently a game-time decision with a leg injury (making all bets for this game tricky). I’m projecting her to suit up and be close to full strength, but if she ends up being ruled out it would actually help Hamby’s under. Plum didn’t sign a one-year, $999,999 contract to grab rebounds and owns one of the lowest rebound rates in the league. The players who would absorb her minutes would provide more competition for rebounds, particularly on missed 3-pointers where Hamby generates a large portion of her boards. I’m projecting Hamby closer to 7.6 rebounds and around -185 to stay under 8.5, and that’s already factoring in Cameron Brink being out already. If Plum is ruled out, the value on the under only improves.

Hit in 9/14 this season and a great spot for her in a meaningful game
