The Sky have been shooting well from the field and the three point line which continued and helped them get their win against the Fever as they shot over 40 percent from both.

The team will look to both Parker and Quigley as well as Diamond DeShields and Kahleah Cooper who both stepped up while the two stars were out.

They are looking to continue their win streak against a pretty banged up Minnesota squad.

The Lynx are without Aerial Powers again as she has torn a ligament in her thumb. Powers had just came back from injury and was projected to be a huge addition to the team but injuries have set her back.

They are also without newcomer Natalie Achonwa as well who has been out due to injury as well. Yet, the team persisted as they got a win recently against the Los Angeles Sparks, 80-64.

The team has picked up Layshia Clarendon, who is a great leader on the floor which showed in this matchup.

Scoring was picked up by Crystal Dangerfield and veteran Sylvia Fowles who both shot over 50 percent from the field who will be key in order for Minnesota to add another win.
