Minnesota Lynx vs Dallas Wings: Preview
The Minnesota Lynx have already secured a playoff spot and currently hold second place in the overall league standings. They also lead the Western Conference with an impressive 23-8 record. Cheryl Reeve's squad remains undefeated in the second half of the season, boasting a perfect 6-0 record.
Minnesota ranks fifth in scoring, averaging 82.9 points per game, and leads the league with a 44.9% shooting percentage from the field, including 39.2% from beyond the arc.
On the other hand, the Dallas Wings are playing their best basketball of the season since the Olympic break. The return of German star Satou Sabally has revitalized Dallas' previously struggling campaign. The Wings have won two of their last five games and are currently riding a two-game winning streak.
Since returning from a shoulder injury, Sabally has averaged 20.2 ppg, 6.4 rpg, 4.8 assists and 1.8 spg. Dallas also boasts the fourth-best offense in the league, averaging 83 ppg.
Despite this improvement, the Wings are ranked 11th in the league overall and fifth in the Western Conference standings, with an 8-22 record so far this season.
Minnesota Lynx vs Dallas Wings: Predicted Starting lineups
Minnesota Lynx: Bridget Carleton, Napheesa Collier, Alanna Smith, Kayla McBride and Courtney Williams.
Dallas Wings: Satou Sabally, Natasha Howard, Teaira McCowan, Arike Ogunbowale and Jacy Sheldon.
Minnesota Lynx vs Dallas Wings: Prediction
Despite the Dallas Wings' noticeable improvement in the second half of the season, their chances of defeating the strong and in-form Minnesota Lynx remain slim.
Lynx superstar Napheesa Collier had an uncharacteristic off-shooting night against the Phoenix Mercury on Wednesday. However, expect Collier to rebound with a dominant all-around performance and Minnesota to a road victory.
