The Minnesota Lynx head into their matchup at the Dallas Wings riding a remarkable wave of momentum. At 8-0, they remain one of only two undefeated teams in the WNBA. Their commanding form, led by Napheesa Collier, has made them a hard team to challenge. Dallas, on the other hand, sits at 1-8, struggling to find cohesion despite the promising addition of rookie Paige Bueckers. Here, I break down this matchup and give you my Minnesota Lynx vs Dallas Wings prediction.
Dallas Wings Betting Preview
Dallas has struggled to build momentum. Their only win came on the road against Connecticut, but they’ve dropped eight of nine overall and are still winless at home (0-4). Newcomers like Bueckers bring excitement, as she’s quickly forming a high-level backcourt duo with Arike Ogunbowale, but it’s not translating to wins. Bueckers is also questionable for this game as she continues to deal with concussion-related issues.
The Wings average 83.4 PPG, but defensive issues plague them, as their opponents average 88.9 PPG. Their lack of depth on the interior after losing so many bigs in the offseason also keeps them falling short. Unless Dallas improves its defensive execution significantly, they look primed for another loss in front of their fans.
Minnesota Lynx Betting Preview
The Lynx are firing on all cylinders. Their offense is smooth (84.9 PPG), efficient (.466 FG%, .368 from deep), and balanced. Minnesota ranks near the top of the league in both offensive and defensive ratings. Collier’s dominance (25.1 PPG, .525 FG%) and from Courtney Williams (13.9 PPG) and Kayla McBride bolsters their attack. Their defense limits teams to 74.8 PPG. They’ve covered spreads against Dallas twice this season, with convincing wins (99–84 and 85–81). With the roster healthy and confidence high, they look unstoppable in Dallas again.
Minnesota Lynx vs Dallas Wings Betting Odds
- Point spread: Lynx -10

Minnesota Lynx vs Dallas Wings Prediction
Key trends strongly favor Minnesota. They’re unbeaten at 8-0 and have already beaten Dallas twice. Their defense, stifling so many teams, should limit Dallas’ scoring bursts. Dallas has yet to win at home, and their underperformance in clutch moments has been consistent. Bueckers shines individually, but her impact hasn’t translated into wins, and she could still be held out today. Meanwhile, Collier continues to dominate and energize Minnesota. The Wings’ defensive inefficiencies and depth issues suggest another defeat.
Prediction: Minnesota Lynx win by double digits, covering the 10-point spread with a projected final score near 92–79. The over/under leans toward the over due to Minnesota’s offensive prowess, so betting on the Lynx and the over seems the most reliable play.
