On Tuesday night, the Dallas Wings will host the Minnesota Lynx in a game featuring two teams that have had very different starts in the WNBA season. The Wings enter this game at 2-1 on the season, and looking like an early-season contender to challenge the super teams in Las Vegas and New York. Meanwhile, the Lynx are looking for their first win of the season in this contest as they are going through a rebuilding phase.
Lynx vs Wings odds
When it comes to Tuesday’s four-game WNBA schedule, the Lynx vs Wings betting odds may be the most bettable of the bunch. Dallas enters this contest as a 5.5-point favorite, a much more palatable number than the double-digit spreads in the Liberty vs Storm and Fever vs Sun games.
As for the total, the number is set at 166.5, which is the highest total on the board in the WNBA on Tuesday. That has a lot to do with the fast-paced offense of the Wings, which is second in the WNBA in scoring at 89.3 points per game.

Lynx vs Wings Betting Preview
Minnesota Lynx: Struggling On Both Ends
So far this WNBA season, the Minnesota Lynx have been among the worst teams in the league. They are 0-4, and have the lowest scoring average in the league offensively. Defensively, they are tied for the second worst mark in the league, so it is no surprise that today’s WNBA odds do not see them faring well against the Dallas Wings.
It was always expected that the Lynx would struggle somewhat this season given that Sylvia Fowles is no longer around to anchor them in the paint on both ends. But the Lynx were certainly hoping for better with Napheesa Collier back on the floor. While Collier herself has been excellent, averaging 16.5 points per game, she could really use some help in the scoring department.

Dallas Wings: Flying High Offensively
One of the most exciting WNBA teams so far this season has been the Wings, who are 2-1 to start this season. They are averaging 89.3 points per game, second only to the Las Vegas Aces. The Wings are popular among those making WNBA picks as a result. In this game, they need to focus on the details to avoid being upset as a home favorite.
While Dallas has a prolific offense most of the time, they can fall victim to rushing shots and playing out of control. Against the worst offensive team in the league so far, simply playing within themselves and not getting careless could be the key to improving to 3-1 on the season and dropping Minnesota to 0-5.
Lynx vs Wings Betting Picks
Over/Under: Over 166.5
Point Spread: Wings -5.5
Our Lynx vs Wings betting advice is to roll with the Wings and the over in this Tuesday night matchup. This game has the highest total among WNBA games today for a reason. As the Wings should be able to get up and down the floor on the Lynx just like the Aces did on Sunday night.
Furthermore, the Wings should be able to create some separation against the Lynx to cover the spread in this contest. Arike Ogunbowale is leading the WNBA with 26.7 points per game early in the 2023 season. She should be able to go off here against a Lynx team that simply lacks the firepower to keep up with her.
