Minnesota Lynx vs. Dallas Wings WNBA First Basket Props
Minnesota is undefeated and has one of the best offenses in the league. Surely a player from the Lynx will make the first basket, right? Not necessarily. The Lynx have made the first basket just twice this season, both times at home (vs. Phoenix and Golden State). Dallas has done so six times, including both games against Minnesota (Paige Bueckers and Nalyssa Smith).
Of those six, DiJonai Carrington can claim two, Myisha Hines-Allen two and Smith and Bueckers one each.
There is one pretty telling stat between these two teams - the pace of play. Dallas has one of the fastest and has made the first basket in six games. Minnesota is one of the slowest and has done so twice. That means betting on someone from the Dallas roster. But who? I settled on Carrington over Hines-Allen because she takes almost twice as many shots as Hines-Allen does.
That tells me it is more likely that Carrington will have the first opportunity to score and will take the shot.
Our Pick: DiJonai Carrington (+900)
