Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings may be for real this season, as they opened the campaign with a win (as underdogs) over the Indiana Fever and Caitilin Clark.<\/p>\n

Now, the Wings are small underdogs at home against the Atlanta Dream, who won their opener on Saturday by one point over the Minnesota Lynx.<\/p>\n

Led by Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, the Dream were one of the best teams in the W in the 2025 season, though they came up short in the playoffs. This past offseason, they added Angel Reese to the fold, and she had a double-double in her Dream debut against the Lynx.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the Wings won just 10 games in the 2025 season, Bueckers is a year older \u2013 and better \u2013 and the additions of Azzi Fudd, Alanna Smith, Odyssey Sims, Alysha Clark and Jessica Shepard make this a much deeper team in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Can Dallas pick up another upset in its home opener?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at the betting odds, a player prop to bet and my prediction for Tuesday\u2019s contest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier today, I shared in my WNBA Best Bets column \u2013 Peter\u2019s Points<\/a> \u2013 why the Dream forward is a great prop target in this game:\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s early in the 2026 season, but the Wings grabbed just 43.5 percent of available rebounds against the Fever in their season opener, which ranks 13th in the league.<\/p>\n

That could be an issue against Angel Reese, who is one of the best rebounders in the league and grabbed 14 boards in Game 1 of the season. Reese averages 12.9 rebounds per game for her career, and it appears she\u2019s going to play a lot of the center spot for the Dream, who started Naz Hillmon alongside her in their opener.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reese has averaged 12.6 or more rebounds in each of her first two WNBA seasons, so I\u2019m buying her in this market on Tuesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dream vs. Wings Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n

These two teams put up a ton of points in their season openers, and they feature two of the best offenses in the W.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dallas scored 107 points against Indiana on Saturday, and it was No. 1 in the WNBA in pace in that game. Bueckers and company can really get out and score, but they aren\u2019t the best defensive team, allowing 104 points in the process.<\/p>\n

Last season, Dallas allowed 109.1 points per 100 possessions \u2013 the second-worst mark in the WNBA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Dream dropped 91 points in their opener against Minnesota, and they are fourth in the W in pace this season. A fast-paced game is obviously helpful for scoring, and these teams combined for 211 and 181 points in their respective season openers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I like Dallas as an underdog, but I think the OVER is the best bet to place on Tuesday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pick: OVER 181.5 (-110 at DraftKings)<\/a><\/p>\n
