DALLAS – A two-game slate is set for Thursday Night in the WNBA, with the Minnesota Lynx taking on the Dallas Wings and the New York Liberty going up against the Portland Fire. We’re looking at some strong betting trends on legal sports betting sites for both matchups on the point totals.

Defense Sets The Tone Between Lynx/Wings

Minnesota Lynx Vs. Dallas Wings

  • Over 178.5 -110
  • Under 178.5 -110

There is no reason that this point total should be set this high. Both the Wings and Lynx are coming off of games that went under the point total. In the all-time head to head when played in Dallas, they average a combined 166.8 total points, with Dallas averaging 81.7 ppg and Minnesota at 85.1 ppg. The average point total drops to 163.5 points in the series overall.

In their last three meetings against one another, all three games have gone under their respective point totals on WNBA betting sites as well as under 178.5 points.

Bank On Points Between Liberty/Fire

New York Liberty Vs. Portland Fire

  • Over 176.5 -110
  • Under 176.5 -110

We should get a nice dose of scoring in the nightcap between the Liberty and Fire. Both of them have gone a combined 5-0 going over their point totals to start the season. They already faced each other once this season, which ended with a 194 scoring total with Portland coming out on top.

These are also two of the top-3 scoring teams to start the year, combining for 190.5 total points per game. New York leads the league at an even 100 ppg while Portland is third at 90.5 ppg.
