Take the WNBA by storm with our WNBA picks.

The New York Liberty continue to dominate the WNBA with a powerful offense and balanced attack. They rank second in the league with 36.5 rebounds per game, thanks to Jonquel Jones' 9.2 rebounds per game. Breanna Stewart has been the team’s key scorer, averaging 20.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and shooting 45.9% from the field. New York is efficient beyond the arc, making 10.3 threes per game, and ranks second in the league in assists with 23 per game. Offensively, the Liberty scores 85.9 points per game while shooting a solid 44.6% from the field.

Defensively, New York has been a standout, giving up just 76.5 points per game, the second-best in the league. The strong defense, combined with shot-blocking ability (4.4 blocks per game), makes them a formidable force against any opponent. They also average 7.8 steals per game, led by Stewart's 1.8 per game. New York's consistency on both ends of the court will be a key factor in the matchup against the struggling Wings.

The Dallas Wings have had a rough season, sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference standings. Despite offensive potential, led by Arike Ogunbowale, who averages 22.6 points and 5.2 assists per game, the Wings have struggled to put together consistent performances. Dallas ranks second in the league for points in the paint, averaging 40.5 per game, but that inside presence hasn’t translated into wins. The Wings' three-point shooting defense, allowing 8.2 threes per game, will be tested again by the Liberty’s high-volume shooters.

Defense for the Wings have been a weak spot, allowing 91.5 points per game, the worst in the WNBA. Opponents have been able to exploit the lack of consistency on defense, and with key player Stephanie Soares out, Dallas will be facing an uphill battle against the Liberty’s potent offense. 

The Liberty have been too strong on both sides of the ball to bet against them. With Dallas’ defensive struggles and New York’s recent form, expect the Liberty to come out on top. Final Score Prediction: New York Liberty win and cover 93-77.
