The Connecticut Sun is shooting 27.7 percent from beyond the arc and 69.4 percent from the free-throw line.

Aneesah Morrow is questionable for the Sun due to conditioning issues. Saniya Rivers is probable despite an ankle sprain. Aaliyah Edwards is probable despite a knee issue. Brittney Griner is probable despite a rib issue.
Natasha Mack is probable for the Mercury despite a foot injury. Sami Whitcomb is probable despite a knee issue.
The Mercury has a chance to be completely healthy for the first time in a while, while the Sun could get Morrow back. This has a chance to be a well-played game. However, we just saw these teams play on Friday, and the Mercury lost badly. Even with reinforcements, the Mercury consistently don’t defend and turn the ball over at a nasty rate. It’s constantly throwing the ball out of bounds. I’m honestly over the Mercury. There’s a lot of talent on this team, but it’s the same performance nightly. Give me the point with the Sun, but it’s a fade of Mercury more than anything.
