WNBA Betting Selections: Forecasts for Friday, June 13, 2025

The Wings (1-10) welcomed Paige Bueckers back to the lineup in a 93-80 defeat against Phoenix, and despite the loss, the rookie made significant contributions. Bueckers She scored 35 points, secured six rebounds, and delivered four assists, but unfortunately, the real problem lay with the defense of the Wings.

Phoenix managed to make 50% of their shots from the field, sinking 15 out of 35 three-point attempts. Dallas finds itself at 11th position and this has greatly contributed to their sluggish start this season.^thin the league in defensive rating (4-4) haven't fared much better, currently sitting in ninth place for defensive rating. They allowed 95 points during a loss on the road to the new Golden State Valkyries on June 7, followed by conceding 97 points in a home game against Los Angeles.

However, the Aces The injury report for the Aces has been released and A’ja Wilson (head) is marked as DOUBTFUL for the upcoming contest against the Dallas Wings.

Compounding the Sparks' defeat is an injury to their key player, June 12, 2025

. The three-time (and current) WNBA MVP suffered a head injury during a drive by Dearica Hamby and had to exit the match. She is uncertain for the home game against Dallas on Friday, where the Aces are favored by 6.5 points. A’ja Wilson I'm leaning toward an upset and considering the Dallas moneyline at +215 for their away game! If Wilson is unable to play, the Aces will face a significant setback. Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray will need to step up their scoring, and they will depend on a strong performance from Jewell Loyd, who has encountered difficulties since joining the Aces in February. Currently, Loyd is averaging just 9.1 points, with 4.1 rebounds, and has a shooting percentage of 29.9%.

Since Wilson is also their top defender, the Aces might struggle to contain Bueckers and the offensive plays from Dallas.

, narrowly ahead of Las Vegas, who will be facing Dallas for the season's first encounter. I foresee both Bueckers and Arike Ogunbowale having standout performances in Las Vegas as they aim for their second win this season. Let’s back the Wings at +215 for Friday night in Vegas!
