Even in a coach-executive role now, she\u2019s kept leading Minnesota to tremendous results.<\/p>\n The Lynx are 31-8 in the 2026 campaign, pacing for the second-best regular-season effort in franchise history. With superstar rookie G Olivia Miles at the helm, Minnesota has its best offense ever and is doing enough on the other end to keep opposing teams at bay.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Dream, meanwhile, are enjoying another very nice season under HC Karl Smesko. After winning 30 games in 2025 but bowing out of the playoffs in the first round, the hope is that acquiring star F Angel Reese can be the magic key to unlock more success into October.<\/p>\n Since getting out to a 13-10 start to the year, Atlanta is 12-4 and has been led by the scoring trio of guards Allisha Gray (19.2 PPG) and Rhyne Howard (18.4) with Reese (16.1 PPG) chipping in plenty of production.\u00a0<\/p>\n As of Sunday morning, the Lynx have a three-game lead over the Golden State Valkyries for the top record in the WNBA. The Dream are six games back, holding a 1.5-game advantage on the New York Liberty and Washington Mystics for the No. 5 seed. Per ESPN\u2019s WNBA BPI<\/a>, Minny has a 26.4% chance to win the title, with Atlanta setting up shop at 8.5%.<\/p>\n These teams met twice in the month of May, with both games taking place in Minnesota but the results being split. The Lynx narrowly lost 91-90 on May 9, then G Courtney Williams\u2019 25 points helped fuel a 96-81 triumph on May 27. After the break, Minnesota hits the road to rumble with the Liberty on September 18, and Atlanta takes on the Connecticut Sun the day prior.<\/p>\n Lynx vs. Dream Spread, Over\/Under \u2013 Sunday, August 30<\/p>\n The Lynx enter Sunday\u2019s game as 1.5-point road favorites against the Dream, returning a 1.66x payout on PrizePicks Team Picks if they win outright.<\/p>\n Here are the full payouts for the Lynx vs. Dream game on PrizePicks.<\/p>\n Make your Lynx vs. Dream prediction on spread or over\/under<\/a> on PrizePicks Team Picks \u2014 available in 36 states!<\/p>\n Payouts show potential returns on correct Team Picks predictions.
