DAL vs NYL Dream11: The WNBA has now come to a crucial stage where the Playoffs remain less than a week away and just a few games are remaining. Some times have picked up their games recently while others are struggling. The Dallas Wings are the ones who have picked the game and they will clash against the New York Liberty here.
The Wings come into this game in a sky-high form, winning five in a row and in they have thus cemented the sixth spot in the Playoffs. Dallas defeated the Liberty 86-77 in the last game as Marina Mabrey stacked up 31 points. The last win gave them 17 wins and 16 losses record.
The Liberty remain on the fringes of the Playoff positioning and their chances are looking a bit dire. They have lost two in a row at the worst time possible and as stated above, the Liberty lost to the Wings in the last game despite a 32 points performance by Sabrina Ionescu.
The Wings have already won the season series two-nil but for the Liberty, matters are pressing in the game.

WNBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Wings unlock their potential
The Wings lost their way in the middle of the season and that was surprising considering their wealth of multiple ball-handlers and shooters. Without Arike, the team’s chemistry has looked better and it has helped other players get multiple touches. The team defense has also been much better while having Teaira McCowan in the starting lineup has helped the rebounding and inside scoring end, which has been a huge boost in numerous ways.
Liberty keeps losing the way
The Liberty has been unable to figure out their rotations thus far. They lack the physical chops to get the defense going and their offense has been full of taking questionable shots. Sabrina Ionescu has had her moments, emerging as one of the best all-around players but she can also make some questionable shot selection. Marine Johannes gave a boost to the guard rotation but apart from her and Sabrina, the three-point shooting can be off. Natasha Howard has done her bit but the lack of depth has been apparent.
Performance Predictions
