Wings vs. Fire Prediction: WNBA Picks for Wednesday, July 22
📡 SBR Edge: Wings Put Out Fire in Portland
My Wings vs. Fire prediction includes Wings -5.5 (-112) and Arike Ogunbowale Over 16.5 points (-110). Even if Paige Bueckers rests today, the Wings should come out fully focused after blowing a late lead in the first head-to-head meeting of the season, especially with how productive Ogunbowale has been over her last four games.

🏆 Who will win Wings vs. Fire?
I like the Wings to win by eight points today. Even if Bueckers doesn't play, Ogunbowale (14.2 PPG) and Jessica Shepard (14.8 PPG) should be able to do enough to replace her offensive production in the short term. The Wings have the seventh-shortest WNBA championship odds, while the Fire have the 11th-shortest. Even without Bueckers, Dallas is still the better team.
Score prediction: Wings 93, Fire 85
💰 Wings vs. Fire prediction & best bet
Wings -5.5 (-112)
I wouldn't be concerned about this bet if Bueckers rests today.
The Wings have more than enough motivation to win by margin. They had a 92.3% win probability, per ESPN Analytics, with 1:08 remaining in the first head-to-head meeting before the Fire pulled off an unlikely comeback.
Dallas is the better team, even if Bueckers doesn't play, and will likely go out of its way to run up the score to ensure Portland doesn't pull off another comeback. Wings -5.5 (-112) at DraftKings is the best line available among the top sports betting sites.
🔥 Best Wings vs. Fire player prop bet
Arike Ogunbowale Over 16.5 points (-110)
Bueckers potentially resting today shouldn't be an issue for the Wings, given how well Ogunbowale has played lately. She has scored 17 or more points in each of her last four games, including a 29-point performance against the Liberty on Monday.
The Fire allow the third-most PPG (90.2) in the W, and Ogunbowale scored 17 points on July 12 against the Sky, who are better defensively than Portland and allow the fifth-most PPG (89.5). She should have no problem hitting this number against the Fire today, especially if Bueckers sits.
Ogunbowale Over 16.5 points (-110) at FanDuel is the best line available among the top sports betting apps.
