WNBA: Can Alyssa Thomas, Connecticut Sun remain unbeaten?

It’s 2 video games for Tuesday in the WNBA, with the Washington Mystics hosting the Connecticut Sun (7 p.m. ET), followed by the Minnesota Lynx taking on versus the Atlanta Dream (8 p.m. ET).

Any ideas the Sun would take an action back have actually been put to rest throughout the very first week of the season. Connecticut is presently leading 4 in scoring and the very best rebounding group in the W. They functioned versus the Fever to begin the season and simply came off a come-from-behind success versus the Mystics on Sunday.

The rematch won’t be simple. Despite the loss, Washington has actually looked spectacular and Elena Delle Donne looks as healthy as ever, balancing 16 points on 33 minutes of play. It took a Brionna Jones and DeWanna Bonner takeover for the Sun to manage the win and duplicating that procedure 2 days later on will be a difficulty. Can the Mystics persevere and win in your home, or will Connecticut remain unbeaten? We’ll learn this evening.

Someone will make their very first win when the Dream and Lynx fulfill. The Dream have actually been crowned as a group to enjoy by lots of and though they lost their house opener, Rhyne Howard had 20 points and Cheyenne Parker had a double-double with 18 points and 11 boards. The Dream went 10 deep. A win versus the Lynx would get their 2023 project on the best track.

Napheesa Collier is the Minnesota Lynx. She had 17 points and 5 rebounds in their season-opening loss to the Chicago Sky. Whether or not she can control will be the choosing element on how far the Lynx will go. With the Lynx and Dream both being thought about fringe playoff competitors, this will be a great sign of how the groups compare versus each other and which one is much better in Week 2.
