Dream vs Lynx Preview with Pick
The odds are in and we have our Dream vs Lynx WNBA betting analysis. The Lynx are -8.5 favorites at home, despite being without their star Napheesa Collier. They are -420 to win the game straight up and the Dream are +310 to get the upset. The total is 151.5.
The Lynx, currently boasting the third-best odds to win the WNBA championship (+900), face a new challenge. Sitting at 16-8 and second in the Eastern Conference, they’ve dropped their last two games and will have to navigate this stretch without star player Napheesa Collier.
The team’s leading scorer (20 PPG) and rebounder (10.2 RPG) is out indefinitely, placing pressure on teammates like Alanna Smith (11.4 PPG, 5.2 RPG) and Kayla McBride (15.8 PPG) to step up.
The Dream, on the other hand, are in the midst of a difficult season. Their 7-16 record places them second-to-last in the East and ninth overall. Allisha Gray (15.9 PPG) leads the team in scoring, while Tina Charles (8.4 RPG) anchors the boards. However, their second-leading scorer, Rhyne Howard (15.4 PPG, 3.4 APG), is out indefinitely with an ankle injury, further hampering their offensive capabilities.
Our Dream vs Lynx WNBA betting analysis believes that the Lynx will take care of business at home, blowing out the Dream and going over the scoring total. Let’s check out the past WNBA scores and odds to get more insight.

Dream vs Lynx Odds
In their initial clash, the Minnesota Lynx soared to a 92-79 victory. A dominant third quarter, where they held Atlanta to a measly 12 points, proved decisive. Kayla McBride (31 points) led the charge, while Napheesa Collier (20 points, eight rebounds, seven assists) displayed her all-around brilliance. The Lynx covered the spread (+4) and the total points exceeded expectations (168).
The second meeting painted a different picture. The Lynx, favored by -9.5 points with a total of 162.5, showcased their defensive prowess. Despite a less explosive offense (7-22 on threes), they shut down Atlanta’s top scorers. Rhyne Howard and Allysha Gray, averaging over 15 points each, were held to a combined 13 points on a dismal shooting night. Napheesa Collier led a balanced attack with 16 points, while strong bench play (19-6) secured another Lynx victory (68-55). Minnesota covered the spread again, and the total points dipped below the predicted mark.

Minnesota Lynx: Struggling of Late
The Lynx may be coming off two losses, but at home they’re a different team. They boast a strong 10-3 record at Target Center and a history of exceeding expectations with a 15-10 spread record. Even more specifically, on their home court, they’ve covered the spread in seven out of 13 WNBA games. Looking towards the total points scored, the trend suggests a lower-scoring game, with three of the last four Lynx contests going under the predicted total.
