Dallas Wings Under 22.5 Regular Season Wins

The Dallas Wings won just 10 games a year ago with a 10-34 record and a negative average scoring differential of minus-6.3 ppg. They posted the 11th-worst net rating in the WNBA at -7.9.

Paige Bueckers will be better in her second season and could be a longshot MVP candidate, but even a leap from the 2025 Rookie of the Year won’t be enough to carry this group. Bueckers led the Wings in scoring at 19.2 ppg, and added 5.4 assists per game, steals at 1.6 and blocks at 0.5 across 36 games while earning All-WNBA honors.

Dallas also returns Arike Ogunbowale and her 15.5 ppg and 4.1 assists per game in 29 appearances. They’ll need to make up for Myisha Hines-Allen, who led the team in rebounding a year ago at 6.0RPG, but has since departed to Indiana.

The Wings did add backcourt depth with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft, Azzi Fudd (Bueckers girlfriend). Even with back-to-back No. 1 overall picks, the supporting cast remains thin up front and the defensive issues run deep. Dallas was the second-worst defense in the W a year ago with a defensive rating of 109.9 while giving up 88 ppg. They allowed opponents to shoot 45.9% from the field and struggled to force turnovers at just 13.5 per game (10th out of 13 teams).

The Wings will face a middle-of-the-pack strength of schedule in 2026 (SOS ranked 9th league-wide), offering no easy path for a massive turnaround.

With the same foundational problems that produced one of the league’s worst net ratings and a 24-game gap to the playoff line last season, we don’t see this team improving by 13 or more wins.

LA Sparks WNBA Season Win Bets Prediction

2025-26 WNBA Future Bets – LA Sparks Over 25.5 Wins

LA Sparks Over 25.5 Regular Season WinsThe Sparks were somewhat of a surprise last season with a 21-23 SU overall record. They didn’t have Cameron Brink for most of the season — she played just 19 games after returning from a torn ACL that sidelined her for the first half of 2025. Kelsey Plum did her best to carry the load, averaging a career-high 19.5 PPG and 5.7 APG while earning her fourth straight All-Star nod. She shot 42.2% from the field and 35.5% from three in 43 games.

They brought back longtime Sparks legend Nneka Ogwumike — a 10-time All-Star, eight-time All-WNBA selection, and former MVP — who spent 2012-2023 in Los Angeles before two seasons in Seattle. Ogwumike posted 18.3 PPG, 7.0 RPG, and earned Second Team All-WNBA honors in 2025 before re-signing with the Sparks this offseason.

Dearica Hamby is coming off a career year of 18.4 PPG, 7.9 RPG, and 3.3 APG while shooting a scorching 57.2% from the field in all 44 games.

The Sparks played at the league’s fastest pace last season and posted the second-highest points per game (85.7) and field-goal percentage (45.7%) in the WNBA. That up-tempo style produced 41.5 points in the paint per game — one of the highest single-season marks in league history — and fueled one of the most efficient offenses around the rim.

The defense will need to improve after finishing 10th in defensive rating (110.7) and 9th in net rating (-3.2), but a healthy Cameron Brink — already showing elite rim protection and length in limited action last year — is poised to anchor the paint and swing that side of the ball. With Ogwumike sliding in alongside Hamby up front and Plum running the show, Los Angeles has the pieces to take the next step and push well past 25.5 wins in 2026.
