Sun vs Wings Preview, Prediction, Injuries, Lineups, Odds & Where to Watch – WNBA 2025 Regular Season (May 27)

The Connecticut Sun will be facing the Dallas Wings for the first time at home in this year's regular season matchup in the WNBA. The Sun vs Wings matchup is quite an anticipated one, with fans expecting more thrilling action from the Wings' rookie sensation, Paige Bueckers.

Bueckers was selected as the first overall pick by the Dallas Wings in the 2025 draft and has been the center of attention this season all throughout. It's noteworthy how Paige's game has improved over the past two weeks, with her even coming up to put double double numbers, despite her team's four game losing streak.

On the other hand, the Connecticut Sun are also facing the Wings with a similar 0-4 record in the league at the moment. The Sun have entered a rebuilding phase, with Tina Charles being one of the only veterans leading the team. If one compares the Sun's roster to last year, it looks completely overhauled. Head Coach Rachid Meziane envisions to primarily utilize a double-big rotation with Tina Charles and Olivia Nelson-Ododa in the middle. The Sun's main outlook so far was to lean on creativity and passion vision of their backcourt to create open opportunities for each other. However, is that panning out well for the team so far? The result's haven't been so conclusive yet.

In this article, we will discuss the preview, predictions, betting odds, potential starting lineups, and key players on the injury report ahead of the Sun vs Wings matchup.

Sun vs Wings Match Preview

The Sun and the Wings will be facing each other for the first time this season in the WNBA. The Wings will be facing Connecticut at the Mohegan Sun Arena and this matchup would be like a test for both teams to earn their first season win. Both Sun and Wings are currently 0-4 down in the league and stand in the bottom half of the league standings. However, this matchup promises action for both of these bottom half teams to emerge out of obscurity.

For the Dallas Wings, they have been continually improving, despite losses. From a 15-point loss against the Minnesota Lynx to start the season to reducing the differential to less than five points, Wings have definitely been putting in some work. The roster is still trying to find cohesion amongst each other, with Paige Bueckers still trying to fit in as a puzzle piece alongside NaLyssa Smith, DiJonai Carrington, and Arike Ogunbowale.

On the other hand, the Connecticut Sun have come fresh this season after losing to the Lynx in the semifinals. They have transitioned to a new coaching staff and a starting five, stirring up the organization for changes right from the grassroots. However, this transition seems to be going pretty harsh, as the Sun have fallen 0-4 in the league so far, after losses against the Mystics, Lynx, Aces, and Dream. So far, Tina Charles has been the team's leading scorer, scoring 20 or more points in multiple games. Marina Mabrey seems to be struggling in her new leadership role. Nevertheless, her 22-point performance against the Lynx should be instilling some confidence in her, after failing to score more than 11 points in her first two games this season.

Sun vs Wings Players To Watch

There are several players to watch out for in this upcoming Sun vs Wings matchup. In the spotlight for this matchup, we have Wings rookie Paige Bueckers, who has been the most touted prospect from this year's draft. Bueckers has been continually improving and adapting with the W, pretty much on the verge of breaking a few rookie records by the end of the season. On the other side, the Sun have completely overhauled their organization, with a few talents to look out for. Here are the players to watch out for in this matchup:

Tina Charles (Sun)

Tina Charles is the leading scorer for the Sun, averaging 15.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in four games this season. She has also been the only player to put up more than 20 points in two different matchups. Alongside, Marina Mabrey, Charles is still trying to find a footing in head coach Rachid Maziane's vision for a two-big roster. However, this has failed to translate yet in wins for the team as of now.

Paige Bueckers (Wings)

Paige Bueckers has been averaging 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game since her WNBA debut. Within days, she became the fastest WNBA guard to reach 50 career points and 25 assists since Sue Bird in the Wings' last game against Atlanta Dream. Alongside Arike Ogunbowale, Paige is the supposed puzzle fit for Dallas' backcourt, which slowly seems to be evident from her performances. However, Dallas needs a lot more cohesion within their roster, which can only be redeemed from a maiden season win.

Where to Watch Sun vs Wings

If you are wondering where to watch the Sun vs Wings matchup, we have got you covered. Here is all the details that you need to know ahead of the matchup:

Sun vs Wings Prediction: Who Will Win?

The upcoming Sun vs Wings matchup could be a great opportunity for Dallas to mark their maiden season win. Despite reaching the semifinals last season, the Sun have completely overhauled their roster and have a fresh team and coaching staff to start the season on a new note. However, there hasn't been enough chemistry building amongst the Sun's roster as much as Dallas have worked through in their past four games.

The Wings also had a similar issue with cohesion and chemistry on the floor starting the season. However, the team took it's time and is slowly building enough chemistry to run their offense and defense in-sync with each other. For example, the Wings went from losing by 15 points against the Minnesota Lynx to reducing the differential to four point loss in their last matchup against the Lynx. Defeating the Lynx for any lottery team is a tough job, especially since they have the deepest roster following the Liberty in the league right now. However, considering how the Wings have been able to best against the strongest teams in the W, a win against Connecticut should be an easy grab.

Prediction

Our prediction is the Wings being the favorite pick (-3.5), winning by a score line of 86-79.
