Four WNBA games are being played on Thursday and the first game is going to be between Dallas Wings and Minnesota Lynx. After 16 games, the Wings have 3 wins and 13 losses, they are in the last place in the league while Minnesota has 13 wins and 3 losses which gives them the 3rd place in the standings. In this game, I predict that the Lynx will cover the handicap.

This has been a very bad season for the Wings. The team won 3 out of 5 games at the start of the season but since then, they have lost 11 games in a row and 6 of them have been by at least 11 points. Dallas got back Natasha Howard but the team is still losing. The team will have a significant loss in this game as Maddy Siegrist won't be able to play. She's the 3rd-best scorer on the team. At home, Dallas has 1 win and 5 losses, their offensive rating is 95.8, their defensive rating is 104.5 and the net rating is -8.7.

The Lynx should be in good spirits as they beat the Liberty and won the Comissioner's Cup on Tuesday. Minnesota has been one of the best teams in the league this season as they have the best record in the Western Conference and they have won the last 7 games. The Lynx has lost only 3 games and 2 games were on the road by a single point to Connecticut and Phoenix. Minnesota also has 2 wins over the Wings this season. At home, Minnesota beat them by 12 and 11 points. Minnesota's offensive rating on the road is 107.8, defensive rating is 94.9 and the net rating is 13.

While there could be some championship hangover, I'm going with Minnesota. They are a much better team and they still are on a mission to win this whole thing. Dallas struggles to play anywhere, they are missing one of the offensive key pieces. The Lynx are one of the best defensive teams in the league and that will cause some problems for the hosts.

周四将有四场WNBA比赛，第一场比赛将在达拉斯之翼和明尼苏达山猫之间进行。16场比赛后，老鹰队3胜13负，排在联盟最后，而森林狼队13胜3负，排在联盟第3位。在这场比赛中，我预测山猫队将支付障碍。

这是一个非常糟糕的赛季。球队在赛季初的5场比赛中赢了3场，但从那以后，他们已经连续输了11场比赛，其中6场至少落后11分。达拉斯找回了娜塔莎·霍华德，但球队还是输了。球队将在这场比赛中遭受重大损失，因为麦迪·西格里斯特将不能上场。她是队里第三好的得分手。在主场，小牛1胜5负，他们的进攻效率是95.8，防守效率是104.5，净效率是-8.7。

周二，山猫队击败了自由队，赢得了专员杯，他们应该精神抖擞。明尼苏达是本赛季联盟中最好的球队之一，他们拥有西部最好的战绩，并且赢得了最近7场比赛。山猫只输了3场比赛，其中2场客场只输给了康涅狄格和菲尼克斯一分。明尼苏达在本赛季也赢了2场。在主场，明尼苏达以12分和11分击败了他们。森林狼在客场的进攻效率是107.8，防守效率是94.9，净效率是13。

虽然可能会有一些冠军后遗症，但我还是支持明尼苏达。他们是一支更好的球队，他们仍然肩负着赢得整个比赛的使命。小牛队在任何地方都打得很吃力，他们缺少了进攻的关键部分。山猫队是联盟中防守最好的球队之一，这将给主队带来一些麻烦。
