The Minnesota Lynx (9-2) will host the Dallas Wings (7-3) in a matchup featuring two of the top teams in the league. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. ET on Tuesday at the Target Center in Minneapolis on WNBA League Pass.<\/p>\n
Minnesota is a 3.5-point favorite based on the latest WNBA odds<\/a>. The total is 171.5.<\/p>\n Wings vs. Lynx Prediction: Tuesday, June 9<\/p>\n Lynx moneyline I\u2019m targeting a pair of angles for Tuesday\u2019s Wings vs. Lynx matchup. I like Minnesota\u2019s moneyline value at -165 or better, and I also like the idea of backing Lynx guard Olivia Miles to score 17-plus points.<\/p>\n Honestly, a parlay of those two predictions is worth exploring once player props become available. But the thing is, both picks are correlated to what I expect to happen in this matchup.<\/p>\n There has been plenty of debate about whether or not the Wings should have drafted Miles with the No. 1 pick. Miles, who went No. 2 to Minnesota, has established herself as the clear WNBA Rookie of the Year odds<\/a> favorite.<\/p>\n So far this season, Miles is averaging 17.2 points, five rebounds, and 6.4 assists per contest. She\u2019s emerged as one of the best pick-and-roll creators in the league in her debut season. Per Props Madness, 50% of Miles\u2019 scoring comes from pick-and-rolls.<\/p>\n Fortunately for Miles, the Wings rank 10th in defending pick-and-roll ball-handlers. They\u2019ve yet to settle on the right frontcourt rotation, as prized free agent Alanna Smith (last year\u2019s co-Defensive Player of the Year) has struggled with her new team.<\/p>\n I envision a scenario in which Miles goes off in a Lynx victory, sparking more debate about whether the Wings made the wrong choice by taking Azzi Fudd with the No. 1 pick. I have my doubts that Miles would have performed as well in Dallas next to Paige Bueckers, but that doesn\u2019t really matter for the context of Tuesday\u2019s matchup.<\/p>\n Prediction: Lynx ML & Olivia Miles over 16.5 points<\/p>\n Wings vs. Lynx Odds for Tuesday, June 9<\/p>\n Wings spread: +3.5 Visit the online sportsbook<\/a> for WNBA betting opportunities throughout the year.
