The Minnesota Lynx have a win total of 27.5 at the BetMGM online sportsbook ahead of the 2026 WNBA season.
In 2025, the Lynx won 34 games and were the No. 1 seed in the league. But the WNBA odds are projecting regression for a reason.
Minnesota Lynx Over/Under Wins 2026
- Over 27.5 wins: +105
- Under 27.5 wins: -135
Minnesota Lynx Win Total Prediction
- Under 27.5 wins (Pick made April 20)
The under on the Lynx’s win total is my favorite option in the initial market at BetMGM. There is a good chance that this line drops a bit more before the start of the regular season.
Head coach Cheryl Reeve, who is the best coach in the league, will have to sort through a completely different rotation this season. The Lynx lost four of their top seven rotation players from last year’s team: Alanna Smith, Jessica Shepard, Bridget Carlton, and Natisha Hiedeman.
In addition, MVP candidate Napheesa Collier is expected to be out until June after having offseason surgery on both ankles.
Minnesota’s ability to survive without Collier will fall on the shoulders of veteran guards Kayla McBride and Courtney Williams. Neither player is really used to being the top option.
Olivia Miles, the No. 2 pick in the 2026 draft, has plenty of potential as a facilitator. But it’s unclear how much Reeve will trust a rookie guard.
Fortunately for the Lynx, they don’t play the New York Liberty until July, and their first meeting with the Las Vegas Aces is in mid-June. Seven of their first nine games will be against the Atlanta Dream, Chicago Sky, and Phoenix Mercury. It should provide a better glimpse of how good Minnesota can be this year.
I’m betting on a bit of a transition year for the Lynx, who were below .500 in 2022 and 2023 before winning 30-plus games in back-to-back years. I like the under at 27.5 or better.
