00:00
It's the Mercury and the Lynx.
00:02
The Lynx, the best team in the W this year.
00:04
17-2.
00:06
Seven-point road favorite today in the Valley against Phoenix.
00:09
But keep an eye on the Mercury.
00:11
Tied for that second-best mark now at 13-6.
00:14
The game today, Calvin, as you see the headline there,
00:17
might this be a potential WNBA Finals preview?
00:21
It's certainly got a shot.
00:23
The Liberty still are certainly in that running as well.
00:26
Once they get Jonquois Jones back, they've been struggling without her,
00:29
but she should be back at a minimum for that playoff run,
00:32
if not end of the regular season.
00:34
But the Mercury have been so impressive,
00:36
and they've dealt with injuries of their own right,
00:38
more than Jonquois Jones even,
00:40
when you look at the number of players that they've had to deal with
00:43
in and out of the rotation.
00:44
And again, tonight, they're without two of their big three.
00:46
Alyssa Thomas is playing.
00:47
Haleah Copper and Satu Sable are out as they were last game.
00:50
But Nate Tibbetts continues to do an amazing job with this team,
00:55
just kind of putting all the pieces together
00:58
and running extremely beautiful and crisp offense,
01:01
no matter who's in the lineup.
01:03
So absolutely, this team has a chance to make some noise
01:06
and maybe even make a Finals run
01:08
and turn this into a Finals preview tonight.
01:11
I love what this Mercury team has done,
01:13
and I think they've been one of the best stories in the league.
01:15
Four games on tap today, 11 a.m., 12 p.m., 3.30 in the nightcap tonight.
01:21
The Dallas Wings struggling on the season, maybe as expected here.
01:23
Some injuries there, but certainly a promising future.
01:26
Taking on the Chicago Sky,
01:27
and Angel Reese has been sensational the past week,
01:30
the week and a half here.
01:31
The expectations for the Wings and Sky for you tonight here, Calvin.
01:35
Yeah, this is an interesting game.
01:37
I think it's rightfully around a pick-em or a one-point spread here
01:40
when you look at the Sky are a little bit of a better team
01:43
and a little bit healthier.
01:45
Like you said, Enrique Agumbo-Wale is out.
01:47
Some other players, Dijanae Carrington for the Wings.
01:50
But at the same time, the Sky are on a back-to-back,
01:52
and we talked about it off air.
01:53
They had to travel in between these back-to-backs
01:56
where you have to hop on a plane after a hard-fought game.
01:59
They lost at the very end last night
02:01
and then turn around and play this one.
02:04
That's a tough ask, even as well as Angel Reese is playing.
02:06
So I think this is going to be a close one.
02:09
Could go either way.
02:09
Six straight double-doubles for Angel Reese
02:12
despite the loss yesterday in D.C.
02:14
22 points, 15 boards.
02:16
She's been hooping.
