ARLINGTON, Texas (Interstat) — The Dallas Wings host the Minnesota Lynx on Thursday at College Park Center, with both teams seeking to build momentum in the early WNBA season. Dallas (1-0) opened with a 107-104 victory over the Indiana Fever on May 9, while Minnesota (0-1) dropped a 91-90 heartbreaker to the Atlanta Dream on the same day. The Wings’ lone game was a high-scoring affair decided by three points; Minnesota’s defeat came by a single point, leaving the Lynx searching for their first win. Forward Jessica Shepard is a player to watch for Dallas. In the season opener, Shepard logged 32 minutes, scoring 13 points with nine rebounds and nine assists, falling one assist short of a triple-double. She is supported by guard Arike Ogunbowale, who scored 22 points, and guard Paige Bueckers, who added 20 points and four assists. Minnesota counters with guard Olivia Miles, who recorded 21 points, eight assists and three rebounds in 34 minutes against Atlanta. Guard Kayla McBride added 20 points, and guard Courtney Williams contributed 14 points and six assists in the loss. The Lynx have had an unusual start to their schedule. A game at Phoenix on Monday was listed as a 0-0 result, indicating a postponement or cancelation, so Thursday’s contest will be their second actual game of the season. Dallas also had a Monday game against Atlanta that went unplayed. Thursday’s matchup features two teams that relied heavily on guard production in their openers. The Wings, however, boast a more balanced attack with Shepard’s frontcourt presence. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. CDT.
