MIN vs DAL Dream11: The WNBA is in full flow and I love this league. The narrative may be discouraging at times but many critics forget that the league has players who have gone through a rigid four-year basketball program or worked under international coaches, so yes, they know how the game is played. And in this game, the Minneosta Lynx will host the Dallas Wings as they put their skills on display.
The Lynx miss Naphessa Collier and without her, they have won just one out of their six games. In the last game, the Aces’ run-and-gun game shut them down and they lost 93:87 despite another 20 points night by Sylvia Fowles. On the other hand, the Wings have started well, winning three of their five games. They defeated the Mercury 93:84 as Arike Ogunbowale dropped 37 points. Can the Lynx get it together against the Wings here?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis
Lynx needs backcourt support, the Wings are too dependent on Arike
The Lynx has struggled to be effective on both ends of the floor and the major reason for that has been the lack of production from the Guard position. While McBride had a 24 in the first win of the Lynx but then had 0 points. This needs to change because even if Moriah Jefferson has been a huge factor so far, they need her. Sylvia Fowles is incredible and has been carrying the major load, however, defensively, she hasn’t gotten ample support thus far.
The Wings are overly dependent upon Arike and she is a streaky shooter. Away from home, she has continuously scored 20+ and in all those games, the Wings came on top. Marina Mabrey has been consistent, Allisha Gray has done her bit while Harrison and Thornton form a strong frontline. The bench is not producing enough and the Wings are a typical case of streaky shooting, but the defense has shown a ton of promise. Satou Sabally’s return will only improve the team’s bench as someone among starter will come off the bench.

Arike has a sweet shooting stroke but she can be an off-and game and so far this season, she is yet to string three strong games in a row. I believe she will be in 18-25 points range. She can be selected as a Star/Pro Player in the Dream 11 NBA Fantasy scenario.

Marina Mabrey(DAL)
Points: 13

Kayla McBride (MIN)
Points: 00

MIN vs DAL DREAM11 LINEUP BALANCERS
- Jessica Shephard(MIN) had 14 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block in the last game. Forward Shephard made five of her seven shots and has emerged as a strong all-around option. I believe she will be in 10-15 points, 8-12 rebounds, and 1-3 steals range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 20-32 - Kayla Thornton(DAL) had 6 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists in the last game. Forward Kayla has led the rebounding effort and she can also chip in with a few buckets every now and then. I believe she will be in 8-13 points and 7-12 rebounds range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 20-32 - Isabelle Harrison(DAL) had 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block in the last game. Harrison had a rough 2/8 shooting night but in the prior games, she was putting up impressive numbers. I expect a 8-14 points and 5-7 rebounds range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 16-25 - Aerial Powers (MIN) had 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks in the last game. Powers finally had a strong night, after shooting 20% or under constantly. I believe she will have another strong effort, being in 14-19 points range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 13-30 - Bridget Carleton(MIN) had 4 points in the last game. Forward Carleton has been a bit off from the field. I believe she will be in 4-7 points and 3-5 rebounds range.
Expected Fantasy Points Range: 4-14 - Tyasha Harris(DAL) had 6 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound, 1 steal in the last game. Tyasha can give some quality minutes off the bench. I believe she will be in 2-5 points and 2-4 rebounds range.

Expected Fantasy Points Range: 4-14 - Nikolina Milic (MIN) had 4 points, 1 rebound in the last game. Milic can provide decent production off the bench but her defense can be a bit suspect. I expect a 2-6 points and 2-4 rebounds range.
