Match Prediction
Dallas Wings vs. Minnesota Lynx
Overview:
Minnesota Lynx at Dallas Wings: The Lynx are playing well, especially in their impressive win over the New York Liberty last Friday. That should carry over into this game.
The Wings, however, have proven strong defensive fronts the Lynx might face on their end.
Key Players:
• Minnesota Lynx:
Player to watch: Bridget Carleton (2019) scored 23 in the last game.
• Dallas Wings:
The Wings will also rely heavily on Arike Ogunbowale's scoring ability.
Prediction:
Given the Lynx's recent play and this tricky road game, it is expected to be close. Can the Wings repeat in Minny? The odds are tipped ever so slightly toward Minnesota, but if Detroit is as solid on defense again, this ought to be a favorable game for the visitors.
Las Vegas Aces at Chicago Sky

• Chicago Sky:
The Sky will rely on Kahleah Copper to bring speed and scoring. Stdout

The Aces are the pick to win this game by being arguably the most balanced team. To challenge an Aces team with a dynamic offense, the Sky will have their work cut out this evening./p>
Connecticut Sun at Washington Mystics

Key Players:
• Connecticut Sun:

• Washington Mystics:
If she's playing, Elena Delle Donne can help dictate the game with her all-around impact. Prediction:
This game likely will be close, with the Connecticut Sun having a slight advantage, considering how well they have been playing. But for the Mystics, if Delle Donne plays, they would likely look to her veteran experience to be able to go against them Sun.
WNBA Analysts Pick Lynx over Wings
ESPN's Rebecca Lobo explains the subtle strategic adjustments that could have been a factor during Game 1 between the Minnesota Lynx and Dallas Wings. Key Matchup: Lynx Season Series as of 12/9Lobo says, "Collier's work in the paint could help tip games toward a Minnesota victory.
On the flip side, Ogunbowale's scoring puts Minnesota in a challenging position to get into a rhythm through Dallas's pace of play. This sets up to be a clash of different styles.
Their play of late has been complemented by former coach and NBC Sports analyst Doug Bruno, who adds the Commissioner's Cup as "not just a confidence creator for them but equally evidence to how strategically sound they are that pairs well with pressure execution on their part. If they stay in that course, there is a big chance of the Silver Stars getting past The Wings with their Home Court Advantage.
Experts Make Predictions For Las Vegas Aces At Chicago Sky
The Las Vegas Aces (vs. Chicago Sky) Star Power, Depth Key for Doris Burke of ESPN A'ja Wilson is a physical beast in the paint, and exactly how she does will set the performance tone.
Burke says, "How the Sky defends Wilson will be critical. Chicago's perimeter defense will have to be on high alert. Rivera notes that if the Sky can convert better than San Antonio can finish from beyond the arc, it could come down to execution in a pressure cooker game.
Chicago has to capitalize on their high-percentage shooting and the home crowd, says TNT basketball analyst Candace Parker (former WNBA player). Its execution, specifically in the big moments for Chicago where turning over shots might come into play.
Expert Picks Possible showdown: Connecticut Sun vs. Washington Mystics.
Kristen Ledlow on NBA TV: How Connecticut Sun, Washington Mystics approach to Game 3 differ from rest of series Defense from the Sun has been impressive, and it is only going to be so-called against Mystics.
"Despite the Sun's staunch defense, Washington so good at rotating & using Elena Delle Donne in versatile scoring roles that it could neutralize any CT defensive strength," Ledlow writes.
Former WNBA coach and current analyst Mike Thibault underlined the strategic versatility of both teams. The medicine to lead you out of it pointed to a well-rounded attack and strong rebounding from the Huskies as reasons they would be tough.
But he also cautioned against overlooking the Mystics, particularly at home. He highlighted their strategic depth - especially in pacing games and exploiting its bench - which he argued could give them an edge.
Every game like this will have its strengths and weaknesses for the teams.
It doesn't stop there, though. All three of the Minnesota Lynx, Las Vegas Aces, and Connecticut Sun are favorites, but you never know in a league this competitive. The contests promise to be hard-fought, and the level of basketball should not be sacrificed for quality in said games.
