WNBA · 2026 Season · Odds via DraftKings

This game has ended. The New York Liberty defeated the Minnesota Lynx, 87-71. You can find the full box score and recap above.

Heading into this WNBA matchup, DraftKings lists the Minnesota Lynx as the favorite at MIN -3.5, with the New York Liberty sitting as the underdog on the moneyline. The point spread currently sits at 3.5, and the over/under total for the game is set at 174.5, giving an early read on how competitive, and how high-scoring, oddsmakers expect this game to be.

These two teams already know each other well this season. NY wins series 2-1, across 3 meetings so far. Head-to-head trends like this are often factored into betting lines and predictive models alike, since some matchups simply play out differently than a team's overall record would suggest.

That betting line lines up with what the standings show. The Minnesota Lynx currently carry a .750 win percentage on the season, compared to .591 for the New York Liberty. Whether that gap on paper translates to the scoreboard is a different question entirely, standings measure a whole season, while a single game can turn on one swing, one drive, or one bad quarter.

Betting lines, like win probabilities, are a snapshot, not a forecast set in stone, and they can shift right up until the Final start time as injury news, weather, and public money move the market. This page will keep reflecting the latest numbers as they update, so it's worth a final check before Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty actually take the field.
