Wings vs Sun predictions
When it comes to the upcoming game against the Connecticut Sun, the Dallas Wings have a few players who could really make things interesting out on the court. Paige Bueckers has been leading the way for Dallas in both scoring and assists, averaging 13.0 points and 6.2 dimes a night, so expect her to take charge once again—especially now that the team is hungry to break that four-game losing streak. Myisha Hines-Allen has been reliable on the boards with seven rebounds per game, and if she’s feeling good enough to play—her day-to-day status has fans holding their breath—she could give Dallas the extra physical edge they’ve so badly needed. The Wings might be winless so far, but with Bueckers pushing the tempo and Hines-Allen scrapping for every rebound, things could finally start clicking for them.
On the Connecticut Sun side, Tina Charles is the player to keep your eyes glued to. She’s coming off strong performances night after night, putting up 14.5 points and grabbing nearly seven boards per contest. That kind of consistency makes her a matchup headache for just about anyone, and let’s not forget Marina Mabrey—she’s been facilitating the Sun’s offense, averaging 3.8 assists per game. If Charles can dominate the paint and get some support from Mabrey and the rest of the Sun lineup, Connecticut could do some real damage, especially on their home floor at Mohegan Sun Arena where they’re hoping to get their first win in front of the home crowd.
Now let’s get real for a second—both squads are 0-4 and looking for that elusive first victory. The Wings have the star power, but matchup issues and injuries have slowed their roll. On the other hand, Connecticut’s home-court advantage and steady inside presence could tip the scales ever-so-slightly in their favor. If Tina Charles continues to control the boards and Connecticut’s ball movement stays sharp, I like the Sun’s chances to finally notch that first win and hand Dallas another tough loss. But hey, in a matchup where both teams are desperate, literally anything can happen—so it’s one to keep an eye on from tipoff to final buzzer.
