Prediction and Conclusion
The Dallas Wings have a terrible season, winning only one game in the past month. That win came against one of the best teams in the league, the Minnesota Lynx, but that didn’t change much. The Dream are far from a winning record but are third in the conference. They have split the eight road games so far in the season. Dallas was dominating the Dream coming into this season, winning six games in a row, but the Dream won 83-78 in their first matchup this season. This will be another tight game, with Dream taking the win home.
