Paige Bueckers playing in her hometown always turns Minneapolis on tilt.
The Dallas Wings guard may not need that added motivation, but the Minnesota Lynx defense likely will gladly take it on the other side of the ball.
My Wings vs. Lynx predictions and WNBA picks expect the best defense in the league to get the best of the hometown product on Tuesday, June 9.
Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET at the Target Center, with the game airing on KFAA and Victory+.
Wings vs Lynx prediction
Wings vs Lynx best bet: Paige Bueckers Under 18.5 points (-115)
Paige Bueckers has returned to Minneapolis before, and it didn't lead to an outstanding top-tier showing from the local product. Her two games at Target Center last year averaged 14.5 points while shooting a combined 10-for-25 from the floor.
The outstanding performance to bet on is the Minnesota Lynx defense. Their defensive rating is more than three points per 100 possessions better than the No. 2 defense in the WNBA.
In Minnesota’s last six games, only one player — Allisha Gray with 21 points — has topped this individual scoring number, further testament to this defense’s inevitability.
COVERS INTEL: The gap between the Lynx’s defensive rating and the No. 2 defensive rating (Atlanta) is more than the gap between No. 2 and No. 5.
Wings vs Lynx same-game parlay
While Bueckers has the misery of facing the best defense in the WNBA, Olivia Miles should enjoy facing a middling defense. The Dallas Wings sport the No. 9 defensive rating in the league, and the rookie point guard hardly needs that edge.
Miles has topped this prop in four straight games, increasingly taking over Minnesota’s offense with excellent results.
