The Connecticut Sun, the third best team by record in the WNBA, will hit the road to face the Minnesota Lynx. Minnesota is currently on the outside looking in for the playoffs with just 10 wins and 17 losses. They are two games out from the eighth and final playoff spot with just nine games left to play. Connecticut has yet to clinch a playoff spot as they sit in third place with a 17-9 record, but a win will surely help their cause as the season begins to wind down.

The Sun have won three of their last four games and carry a 4-2 record in July. Jonquel Jones has been their motor this season averaging 15.1 points and 9 rebounds per game. The Sun have five players who average between 11.2 and 15.1 points a game. The Sun average 84.3 points per contest, which is third best in the league.

While the Sun sit near the top and in good position to make the playoffs, the Lynx have been playing better basketball as of late and come in with a 6-4 record in their last 10. That includes going just 1-2 in their last three games. They come into this matchup averaging 82.7 points a contest but have hit the 90-point mark in seven of their last 12 games, including three games in that span cracking 100. A lot of their success lately has come from the play of Sylvia Fowles. Fowles is averaging a double-double is season behind 15.1 points a game to go along with 10 rebounds game.
