Wings vs Sun predictions
Dallas Wings fans have had plenty to keep an eye on this season, especially when it comes to standout guard Paige Bueckers. With her averaging close to 18 points per game and leading the team in assists, you get the feeling that Bueckers is primed for another big offensive outing, especially as the Wings look to keep the series edge on Connecticut. Add in Myisha Hines-Allen’s presence under the rim, scooping up rebounds at a solid clip, and you could see Dallas pushing the tempo early, trying to control the boards and create transition opportunities. The combination of these two might be just what Dallas needs to get some momentum on the road.
On the Connecticut side, even with the recent slide, there’s no shortage of talent gearing up for a statement performance. Tina Charles has been carrying the offensive load, and you know she’ll look to attack the paint, try to draw fouls, and test Dallas’ interior defense. Marina Mabrey’s steady hand with the ball could keep things organized, while Olivia Nelson-Ododa is likely to be a defensive anchor and rebounding force, especially at home in Mohegan Sun Arena. If Charles gets hot early and Mabrey finds her groove facilitating, the Sun have a real shot to snap their losing streak.
Looking at what each team brings to the court, it feels like we’re in for a close one. Dallas may have the slight edge based on recent form, especially if Bueckers finds her shooting rhythm and Hines-Allen dominates the glass. But, don’t be surprised if Connecticut comes out hungry, feeds off the home energy, and pushes this game down to the wire. In a battle where both teams are eager to break through, my gut says the Dallas Wings could just squeak out a narrow win—especially if their stars show up big in crunch time. What do you think, will the Sun heat up or will the Wings keep soaring?
