As the WNBA season heats up, fans can look forward to thrilling basketball action this Saturday, May 18, 2024. The day features two intriguing matchups: the Washington Mystics vs. the Connecticut Sun and the Seattle Storm vs. the Minnesota Lynx. Both games promise intense competition as these teams look to shape their standings early in the season.
Washington Mystics vs. Connecticut Sun
- Tip-off: 7:30 AM (Philippine Time)
- Venue: Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, CT
The Washington Mystics (0-1) travel to Connecticut to face the Sun (1-0) after falling short in their season opener against the New York Liberty. Ariel Atkins led the Mystics with 20 points, but the team will need a more balanced scoring effort to compete against the Sun.
The Connecticut Sun boast a strong home record, having finished 13-7 at Mohegan Sun Arena last season. They also excel in shooting, averaging over 44% from the field and 36% from three-point range in 2023-24. The Mystics, who finished 19-21 overall last season, will need to step up their defensive game to counter the Sun's offensive prowess.
Seattle Storm vs. Minnesota Lynx
- Tip-off: 9:30 AM (Philippine Time)
- Venue: Target Center, Minneapolis, MN
Following an 83-70 loss to the Minnesota Lynx, the Seattle Storm (0-1) will be looking to redeem themselves. Nneka Ogwumike's 20 points weren't enough to overcome the Lynx on opening night.
The Minnesota Lynx (1-0) are off to a strong start, capitalizing on their strong passing game. They averaged nearly 20 assists per game last season, showcasing their ability to move the ball effectively. The Storm, who finished with a lower win rate last season, will need to disrupt the Lynx's offensive flow and create scoring opportunities for themselves.
