Minnesota Lynx vs. Dallas Wings: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

The Wings selected first overall in the 2025 draft, where they took former UConn standout Paige Bueckers. She'll partner with Arike Ogunbowale to form a strong backcourt for a team coming off a 9-31 season.

Minnesota's roster looks just about the same as it did last season, but the team added veteran guard Karlie Samuelson to support star players Napheesa Collier, Courtney Williams, and Kayla McBride.
