Game Analysis
Without Kelsey Plum and Kahleah Copper, Phoenix's offense cratered last season by 18 points per 100 possessions. Dallas, despite missing Alanna Smith, still fields a dominant rim-protecting duo in Awak Kuier and Li Yueru. The spread at -7 feels soft given the structural gap — expect Wings to control pace and win by double digits. Total leans under because both teams lack firepower, but WNBA totals are notoriously noisy. Bet sizing reflects the low-confidence slate.
