It’s two games for Tuesday in the WNBA, with the Washington Mystics hosting the Connecticut Sun (7 p.m. ET), followed by the Minnesota Lynx facing off against the Atlanta Dream (8 p.m. ET).
Any thoughts the Sun would take a step back have been laid to rest during the first week of the season. Connecticut is currently top four in scoring and the best rebounding team in the W. They took care of business against the Fever to start the season and just came off a come-from-behind victory against the Mystics on Sunday.
The rematch won’t be easy. Despite the loss, Washington has looked sensational and Elena Delle Donne looks as healthy as ever, averaging 16 points on 33 minutes of play.

Can the Mystics stay the course and win at home, or will Connecticut stay undefeated? We’ll find out tonight.
Someone will earn their first win when the Dream and Lynx meet. The Dream have been crowned as a team to watch by many and though they lost their home opener, Rhyne Howard had 20 points and Cheyenne Parker had a double-double with 18 points and 11 boards.
