WNBA Showdown: Unveiling Surprising Contenders and Game-Changing Moves for June 8th

Lynx vs. Wings, 4:00 ET

My first play of the WNBA season was on this matchup. One of the things that I talked about was that Dallas would need time to gel and grow together. They had some good players, but not enough to really compete against the team that was seconds away from winning a title last year. Paige Bueckers, the newest WNBA star, is out with a concussion, though there are rumors she comes back here. This is already the third time these two teams are matching up for the season with the Lynx winning the first one by 15 and the last one by just four. The Wings are only 1-8 for the year, with their lone win coming against the Sun. The Lynx are undefeated and look like they are hungry to finish what they started last year. In this one there is no question which team has more talent, and which team should win – the Lynx. I do feel like the line is a bit high here, and think Dallas covers, but I really don’t want to get involved in that. I think the better play is to take the game total over. The Wings play no defense, and Minnestota has scored 184 points in two games against the Wings. Based on today’s total the games would be 1-1 over/under. Dallas would’ve gone over this total in four of the past five games. I’m thinking it will be five of the last six after today. Back the over.
