Wings vs. Lynx: Battle of Streaking WNBA Teams
9 Jun
Summary
- Two hottest WNBA teams, Wings and Lynx, face off Tuesday night.
- Lynx have won seven straight games; Wings have won four in a row.
- Jessica Shepard is a strong prop bet for a double-double.
The Minnesota Lynx, currently boasting a seven-game winning streak and the best record in the WNBA at 9-2, will host the Dallas Wings on Tuesday, June 9. The Lynx are playing without star forward Napheesa Collier due to an ankle injury. However, rookie guard Olivia Miles has significantly stepped up. The Wings, who have won their last four games and hold a 7-3 record in the 2026 season, are a much-improved team compared to last year.
This contest also marks a homecoming for former Lynx forward Alanna Smith, now with the Wings. Oddsmakers favor the Lynx, setting them as 3.5-point favorites with a moneyline of -185. A key player prop bet highlights Jessica Shepard of the Wings to record a double-double, with her averaging 13.5 points and 11.4 rebounds this season. Despite a previous outing where she was held to seven points, Shepard has recorded six double-doubles recently.
The Lynx are predicted to win outright, extending their record to 10-2. Minnesota has also been strong against the spread, going 9-2. Their league-leading net rating and strong offensive and defensive ratings contribute to their success. The Wings, while improved, show defensive weaknesses, particularly on the road, which could be a significant disadvantage against the Lynx's talented roster. The Lynx have already secured one win against the Wings earlier this season.
