Minnesota Lynx vs. Dallas Wings Prediction
I’m on the Lynx here. I get the case to be made for Dallas at home, but the Lynx have shown a lot of fight despite not having their leader in Napheesa Collier and I think the Wings could get upset here by a Lynx team that’s been live in each of their first two games. I think this is a Minnesota team that could surprise some folks. Give me Minnesota here.
