Minnesota at Dallas

This is tough situational spot for Minnesota - its second straight road game on short rest, playing two nights ago at New York. They face a Dallas team that is well rested for the home opener. Dallas won at Phoenix in its only game, 68-58, as a +8 dog. Rookie guards Kaela Davis (20 points) and Allisha Gray (11) paced Dallas and are first-round draft choices who played for NCAA champion South Carolina. The young Dallas Wings went 17-of-20 from the line and had a 41-17 rebounding advantage. When these teams last met it was on this court late last season and Dallas took Minnesota to overtime in a 98-97 defeat. Look for a big effort again by the much improved, hungry young home team. Take Dallas.
