Lynx vs. Dream Prediction: WNBA Picks for Sunday, Aug. 30
My Lynx vs. Dream prediction counts on a bounce-back performance from Minnesota during Sunday's battle at 3 p.m. ET in Gateway Center Arena in Atlanta on NBA TV.
The Lynx, who are WNBA championship odds leaders, are 2.5-point favorites following their 14-point loss to the Golden State Valkyries six days ago. Minnesota should get back in the win column today.

🏆 Who will win Lynx vs. Dream?
I project a three-point Lynx win on Sunday. Minnesota has been the league's best team all season, but it has actually performed better on the road. The Lynx are 17-2 away from home this season, posting a WNBA-best +10.9 net rating in road contests. It's easy to believe in a bounce-back performance.
Score prediction: Lynx 89, Dream 86
💰 Lynx vs. Dream prediction & best bet
Lynx ML (-134)
Given that my projected spread doesn't offer up much of an edge, I prefer backing Minnesota's moneyline in this matinee matchup with Atlanta. The Lynx have lost back-to-back games only once this season, so I trust them to prevail against the Dream.
In the seven previous instances the Lynx came off a loss, they are 6-1 with an average margin of victory of 11.7. Their lone loss was by one point.
Minnesota will be motivated to get back on track before the international break, especially with award conversations dominating the discourse over the next couple of weeks.
🔥 Best Lynx vs. Dream player prop bet
Olivia Miles Over 24.5 points + assists (-115)
There are many people ready to end the MVP debate after Olivia Miles' performance on Monday. She finished with just eight points and five assists in the loss.
But a big reason why I believe in Minnesota today is because I expect Miles to respond. She's too good to have two dud performances in a week.
Since Napheesa Collier's season debut, Miles and her have been in the same lineup for nine wins. Of those nine wins, Miles has cleared this prop six times. She's averaging 20.3 points and 6.9 assists over that span.
With this prop trading as high as 25.5 in the market, I love getting this bargain at bet365.
🚀 Lynx vs. Dream same-game parlay
I've decided to keep things simple with a two-leg parlay for today's Lynx vs. Dream matchup. That's because I see no reason to risk too much on the final day before the international break. It's difficult to project which teams or players will be motivated. But I know I can count on Miles to deliver, especially since she was left off the Team USA roster.
