00:00It's the Mercury and the Lynx.
00:02The Lynx, the best team in the W this year.
00:0417-2.
00:06Seven-point road favorite today in the Valley against Phoenix.
00:09But keep an eye on the Mercury.
00:11Tied for that second-best mark now at 13-6.
00:14The game today, Calvin, as you see the headline there,
00:17might this be a potential WNBA Finals preview?
00:21It's certainly got a shot.
00:23The Liberty still are certainly in that running as well.
00:26Once they get Jonquois Jones back, they've been struggling without her,
00:29but she should be back at a minimum for that playoff run,
00:32if not end of the regular season.
00:34But the Mercury have been so impressive,
00:36and they've dealt with injuries of their own right,
00:38more than Jonquois Jones even,
00:40when you look at the number of players that they've had to deal with
00:43in and out of the rotation.
00:44And again, tonight, they're without two of their big three.
00:46Alyssa Thomas is playing.
00:47Haleah Copper and Satu Sable are out as they were last game.
00:50But Nate Tibbetts continues to do an amazing job with this team,
00:55just kind of putting all the pieces together
00:58and running extremely beautiful and crisp offense,
01:01no matter who's in the lineup.
01:03So absolutely, this team has a chance to make some noise
01:06and maybe even make a Finals run
01:08and turn this into a Finals preview tonight.
01:11I love what this Mercury team has done,
01:13and I think they've been one of the best stories in the league.
01:15Four games on tap today, 11 a.m., 12 p.m., 3.30 in the nightcap tonight.
01:21The Dallas Wings struggling on the season, maybe as expected here.
01:23Some injuries there, but certainly a promising future.
01:26Taking on the Chicago Sky,
01:27and Angel Reese has been sensational the past week,
01:30the week and a half here.
01:31The expectations for the Wings and Sky for you tonight here, Calvin.
01:35Yeah, this is an interesting game.
01:37I think it's rightfully around a pick-em or a one-point spread here
01:40when you look at the Sky are a little bit of a better team
01:43and a little bit healthier.
01:45Like you said, Enrique Agumbo-Wale is out.
01:47Some other players, Dijanae Carrington for the Wings.
01:50But at the same time, the Sky are on a back-to-back,
01:52and we talked about it off air.
01:53They had to travel in between these back-to-backs
01:56where you have to hop on a plane after a hard-fought game.
01:59They lost at the very end last night
02:01and then turn around and play this one.
02:04That's a tough ask, even as well as Angel Reese is playing.
02:06So I think this is going to be a close one.
02:09Could go either way.
02:09Six straight double-doubles for Angel Reese
02:12despite the loss yesterday in D.C.
02:1422 points, 15 boards.
02:16She's been hooping.
