There are four games in the WNBA this Sunday, and while each offers intriguing matchups and storylines, the rematch between the Chicago Sky and Seattle Storm Storm is the one to watch (6 p.m. ET, League Pass).
The Storm have been one of the best teams in the league all season. With a healthy roster, they are 13-7 and aiming to be the best team in the W. The Sky aren’t quite at that level, but they are fresh off an 88-84 win versus the Storm. The Sky are a scrappy, hungry 8-11 team with electrifying players like Chennedy Carter and rookie phenom Angel Reese. They are entertaining to watch and can beat any team on any day. Let’s see if Sunday is one of those days.
Sunday’s other action
Earlier in the day, we have the Atlanta Dream playing the Connecticut Sun (1 p.m. ET, League Pass). This will likely be a one-sided affair, with the Sun playing some of the best ball around and the Dream far too depleted to compete with Connecticut’s firepower.
I am not covering the Dream tomorrow, but my goodness.

Stranger things have happened, but you would need multiple Atlanta players to have career nights for a win to be plausible on Sunday.
The Las Vegas Aces are back home and will be looking to get back in the win column after losing to the Sparks. What better way to regain your groove than to play the 5-16 Dallas Wings? Similar to the Sun, the Aces have every advantage in this matchup. They are fully healthy, have the better roster player and are at home. This should be an easy day at the office for Las Vegas (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).
The final game of the night features the Los Angeles Sparks hosting the Phoenix Mercury (7 p.m. ET, League Pass).
The Sparks finally ended their eight-game losing streak and the Mercury are coming of a win versus the Wings that put them at 10-10 on the season. Even though they are on the road, Phoenix will likely be favored, but don’t count Los Angeles out. With Dearica Hamby playing the best ball of her career and Aari McDonald finding her groove, the home team might earn their second-straight win on Sunday.
