Wings vs. Lynx Prediction: WNBA Picks for Sunday, Aug. 9
My Wings vs. Lynx prediction expects Minnesota to maintain its dominance over Dallas today, with tipoff from Target Center in Minneapolis set for 3:30 p.m. ET (NBC, Peacock).
The Lynx, who are the favorite in the WNBA championship odds, are a 6-point betting favorite against a struggling Wings squad. Even with Minnesota playing the second day of a back-to-back, that spread feels too low.

🏆 Who will win Wings vs. Lynx?
I predict the Lynx to win by seven points against the Wings on Sunday. Minnesota doesn't have an injury report after playing on Saturday, but this hasn't been much of a rivalry of late, no matter who is playing. The Lynx haven't lost to the Wings since 2024.
Score prediction: Lynx 94, Wings 87
💰 Wings vs. Lynx prediction & best bet
Lynx -5.5 (-110)
I'm willing to lay the points at -6 or better even before we find out who is playing for the Lynx. That's because I trust Minnesota in this matchup.
The Lynx have covered the spread in five straight head-to-head meetings with the Wings. They've poked fun at Dallas' lack of interior defense in a postgame press conference.
With this spread as high as 6.5 in the market, I'm grabbing this -5.5 before it's too late.
🔥 Best Wings vs. Lynx player prop bet
Olivia Miles Over 18.5 points (-127)
There is a chance that Olivia Miles takes this matchup personally after the Wings passed on her with the No. 1 overall pick.
In three head-to-head meetings this season, Miles is averaging 20 points against Dallas. She's cleared this line in back-to-back outings, scoring as many as 24 points.
I'd take the Over at 19.5 or better because Dallas ranks 10th in defending pick-and-roll ball-handlers. The Wings' perimeter defense is even worse without Azzi Fudd, who is questionable on Sunday.

🚀 Wings vs. Lynx same-game parlay
I believe Minnesota should cruise to a comfortable win over Dallas, led by the WNBA Rookie of the Year favorite. Dallas is in its worst form all year, dropping five of its previous seven games. The Lynx are better than ever, as they've recently added Napheesa Collier to the lineup.
