Three games are on the schedule on Thursday in the WNBA. We begin in Connecticut, where the Sun host the Dream at 7 p.m. ET, then head to Chicago for a Midwest showdown between the Sky and the Fever at 8 p.m. ET and conclude the night’s action in Vegas, where the Aces face off against the Storm at 10 p.m. ET.
It’s a tale of two seasons, with Connecticut and Atlanta. The Sun are 8-2 and rolling, while the Dream are struggling to stack up wins and are currently 3-5.
Atlanta will need great games from their big three of Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, and Cheyenne Parker to pull off an upset. Now, these three have been impressive all season long, but Connecticut is a complete team and big-heavy, so Parker will have her hands full in the post all night. We’ll see if anyone comes to her aid to help neutralize Sun forwards Alyssa Thomas and Brionna Jones.
Has there ever been a more fun 3-6 team than the Indiana Fever? With rookie Aliyah Boston’s dominant play and Kelsey Mitchell’s 17 points a game, the Fever have been fun to watch, even if it hasn’t resulted in wins.
They have “good losses” against the Phoenix Mercury, Las Vegas Aces and Connecticut Sun, but ultimately, they are a young team that struggles to close out games.
That will have to change on Thursday…
