Elsewhere around the W, both the Phoenix Mercury and New York Liberty will play their *third* game. For the Mercury, it’s their first opportunity to play in front of the X Factor, with the Minnesota Lynx in town (10 p.m. ET, WNBA League Pass). The matchup offers an early rookie showdown between the Lynx’s expected rookie standout Olivia Miles, fresh off a 21-point debut, and the Mercury’s Jovana Nogic, the 29-year-old sharpshooter from Serbia who is 8-for-10 from 3 to start her WNBA career. The pivot point of this game, however, is more likely the Lynx froncourt, which will be the case until Dorka Juhász and Napheesa Collier return to the lineup. Can Minnesota’s mostly inexperienced group, plus a past-her-prime Natasha Howard, hold up against the full force of Alyssa Thomas? Or, do you see something else potentially swinging this game? The still-depleted Liberty will look to continue to take advantage of their friendly early-season schedule in Portland against the expansion Fire (10 p.m. ET, WNBA League Pass). As Zack Ward highlighted, the play of Marine Johannès, Pauline Astier and Julie Vanloo has helped New York survive in their current state. Continued positive play from those three, on top of Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones doing their things against an overmatched Fire frontcourt, should be more enough against a Portland side that is prioritizing process over results. Do you think the Fire can muster a tougher fight than expected against the Liberty? Or, will Stewie and company cruise to 3-0?
