Tempo vs. Wings Prediction, Spread, Over/Under – Wednesday, August 12

In their debut campaign as an expansion franchise, the Tempo got off to a respectable start under head coach Sandy Brondello. Eighteen games into the season, Toronto sat at an even 9-9 and looked like it could potentially compete for a playoff spot.

Since then, unfortunately, it’s been tough sledding for the Tempo. They’ve won just once in their last 14 games, holding a staggering -196 point differential in that span. Defense has been a massive red flag for Toronto, as its 117.8 rating ranks dead last on the year. 

Limited availability from standout G Brittney Sykes (15 games, 20.1 PPG) has hurt the Tempo, but All-Star G Marina Mabrey (20.7 PPG) is doing her best to keep the team afloat. The rest of the roster, however, is faltering.

Now on their third head coach in as many years, the Wings’ ascension is real this time around. Dallas has nearly doubled its win total from a year ago already, going from 10-34 in 2025 to 19-14 entering Wednesday’s game. Although the club is 1-5 in its last six games, this stretch came on the heels of a lava-hot 7-1 streak.

The straw that stirs the drink for the Wings is G Paige Bueckers, who does a little bit of everything on the offensive end. She’s supported by a trio of players (G Azzi Fudd, F Jessica Shepard, and G Arike Ogunbowale) pouring in 13+ PPG, although one member of that group is out on Wednesday and another is questionable. 

Dallas’ cold spell hasn’t impacted its playoff outlook much, as the team is a whopping 5.5 games ahead of the Portland Fire for the last of eight available slots. The Wings are just a pair of games back of tying the Indiana Fever for fourth overall, too. 

These two squads played twice in a six-day span back in July, when the Wings took a pair of outings in Toronto and won by 13 points each time. Bueckers went off for a combined 56 points in those clashes. 

Tempo vs. Wings Spread, Over/Under – Wednesday, August 12

The Wings enter Wednesday’s game as 9.5-point home favorites against the Tempo, returning a 1.2x payout on PrizePicks Team Picks if they win outright.
