On Sunday, the Minnesota Lynx will travel to Texas to face the Dallas Wings at the College Park Centre in the Commissioner's Cup. This will be the third meeting between the two teams this season, with the previous two games being won by the Lynx. Napheesa Collier's team currently leads the West in the in-season tournament, while the Wings remain at the bottom of the table.

This game will be one of two tales as the Wings have been horrendous this season, despite a summer of rebuilding. Alternatively, the Lynx continue to chase behind the NY Liberty in the league while looking to retain their Commissioner's Cup title.

Still unbeaten this season, the Minnesota franchise will be looking to continue its fine form. In their last game, they faced an in-form Phoenix Mercury team and beat them convincingly. Collier led her team with 18 points and 11 rebounds, as they defeated the Arizona team by a score of 88-65. This was their eighth win of the season, which saw them get level on points with the Liberty, who have a similar 8-0 record.

On the other hand, the Dallas Wings, despite the additions of DiJonai Carrington, NaLyssaa Smith, and Paige Bueckers, have continued to struggle. They are without a win in four games and have only won a single game all season, which came against fellow strugglers the Connecticut Sun. In their last game, they faced off against a mid-table LA Sparks team and were defeated by 14 points. This defeat saw them record their seventh loss of the season, as their record stands a 1-7.

Although many will consider the game to be over before it's begun, the Wings could redefine their season by handing the Lynx their first defeat of the season.
