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.
