The Dallas Wings have lost six straight games and 10 of 11 overall, and things don’t get any easier as they visit the WNBA-leading Minnesota Lynx. The Lynx are the 17-point betting favorite, but I'm backing Dallas to keep things reasonably close, which is reflected in my Wings vs. Lynx prediction.

My best player prop bet features Paige Bueckers, who should be influential in helping the first of my following WNBA picks hit. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. ET tonight at Target Center in Minneapolis (NBA TV).

On paper, this is a prime spot for the league-leading Lynx to make easy work of the team with the worst record in the WNBA. 

However, the Lynx are just 3-3 over their last six games and are likely primarily focused on keeping players healthy over the last few games of the season before the playoffs.

Minnesota still has more than enough talent to defeat Dallas, even if coach Cheryl Reeve decides to rest any players, but an opportunity for Dallas to cover one of the bigger spreads should present itself.

A $10 wager on the Wings to cover would net a $9.09 profit. The -110 odds from one of our best sports betting sites, DraftKings, carry an implied probability of 52.38%.

💰 Best Wings vs. Lynx player prop bet

⬆️ Paige Bueckers Over 20.5 points & assists (-125) ⭐⭐⭐ 

Bueckers is averaging only 11 points and six assists on 28% shooting in two games against Minnesota’s league-best defense in 2025. However, both matchups occurred in the first three games of Bueckers’ rookie season. She has been a much better and more dynamic player since the middle of May.

Bueckers also averages more points and assists per game on the road, while shooting better from the field and three-point range. I expect the ball to be in her hands on most possessions she’s on the floor.

A $10 wager on Bueckers to go over this number will return a profit of $8.00. The -125 odds have an implied probability of 55.56%.

How do WNBA odds work?

When betting on the WNBA, the point spread shows how many points the favorite needs to win by in order to cash the bet. For example, a favorite of -5.5 must win by 6 or more points to cover the spread, while an underdog at +5.5 must win outright or lose by 5 or fewer points to cover the spread.

Moneyline odds represent the payout for picking the outright winner (+200 means a $100 bet wins $200, while -200 means a $200 bet wins $100). Over/Unders let you wager on whether the combined total will be higher or lower than the set number.
