The Dallas Wings and Minnesota Lynx face off on Thursday in a WNBA showdown at the Target Center. When these two teams faced off on June 28th it was the Lynx that secured the 92-64 victory.
The Wings come into this game with a 10-13 record overall, but they are coming off a loss in their last game against the Seattle Storm. The offense only managed 74 points and that led to the nine-point defeat. The Wings are averaging 81.1 points, while their defense is giving up 81.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 7th in the league, while their defense is ranked 6th in the league. Arike Ogunbowale has been the top player for Dallas this season, averaging 19.2 points while shooting 39.9 percent from the field.
On the other side of this matchup is the Lynx who sit with a 9-15 record overall, but they are playing a lot better as of late. In the last game against the Phoenix Mercury, it took overtime, but they were able to win 118-107. The Lynx are averaging 83.4 points, while their defense has given up 84 points per game. The offense is ranked 4th in the league, while their defense is ranked 8th in the league. Sylvia Fowles has been the top player for the Lynx, averaging 14.8 points while shooting 64.2 percent from the field.
It doesn’t matter who the Lynx are playing right now, I’m not betting against them. The Lynx’s offense is more balanced, and they are going to find success running up the score here. The Wings don’t have anyone to slow down Fowles and that is going to be the difference as the Lynx get the job done. Back the Lynx against the spread.
