The Dallas Wings and Minnesota Lynx face off on Thursday in a WNBA basketball showdown at College Park Center.

The Dallas Wings come into this game with a 5-6 record overall which puts them in 3rd place in the Western Conference. The Dallas Wings were hot, but they struggled in the last game against the Las Vegas Aces. The Wings gave up 85 points and that led to the seven-point defeat. Dallas on the season is averaging 85.5 points per game while their defense is giving up 83.2 points per game. Dallas has played good defense from deep, and that will need to be an x-factor in this game Arike Ogunbowale has been the best player for Dallas averaging 20.9 points while shooting 38.6 percent from the field and 35.9 percent from deep. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Minnesota Lynx who sit with a 4-6 record overall which puts them in last place in the Western Conference. Over the last five games, the Lynx have three wins, but their last loss was an embarrassing one. In the last game against the Chicago Sky, the defense gave up 105 points and that led to the defeat. On the season, Minnesota is averaging 81.5 points while their defense is giving up 82.7 points per game. Napheesa Collier has been the best player for Minnesota averaging 17.6 points while shooting 43.9 percent from the field. Sylvia Fowles has also been good averaging 16.5 points while shooting 63.5 percent from the field. 

There is no chance I am trusting the Minnesota Lynx right now, and they are going to really struggle in this game. Look for Wings to attack the weak defense of Minnesota and they will win this game in blowout fashion.
