Who is ruled out for the Lynx and Wings?
Both rosters are shorthanded. Minnesota has ruled out star forward Napheesa Collier, who remains sidelined recovering from left ankle surgery and has not resumed on-court activities, according to Yahoo Sports. The Lynx are also without Dorka Juhasz (right mid-foot sprain) and Emma Cechova (torn ACL, out for the season).
Dallas lists guard Odyssey Sims out for her ninth straight game with a left ankle sprain. Forward Alanna Smith is also ruled out with a concussion, missing her third consecutive contest.
Why is Dallas's defense under the microscope?
Despite missing Collier, Minnesota enters at 14-4. Olivia Miles leads a balanced Lynx attack at 18.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game. Natasha Howard posted 21 points and 15 rebounds in Wednesday's win over Washington, while Miles added 21.
The Wings are competitive at 11-7, powered by Paige Bueckers (25 points vs. Las Vegas) and Jessica Shepard (22 points, 14 rebounds). But defense remains the question. Opponents average almost 86 points against Dallas, and Minnesota has already scored 90 and 100 in their two prior 2026 meetings, per Fox News.
What do the numbers say ahead of tip-off?
Minnesota averages 90.8 points per game—5.1 more than Dallas allows (85.7), according to The Athletic. The Wings score 89.1 per contest, 9.7 above what the Lynx typically surrender (79.4).
Minnesota opens as roughly a 3.5-point road favorite with a listed total near 178.5 points. Even without Collier, the Lynx have not missed a beat—and Dallas must prove it can slow one of the WNBA's most efficient attacks on national television.
