Indiana Fever vs Los Angeles Sparks | Saturday at 7:00 pm ET

Caitlin Clark’s availability for this one is still up in the air, but the last time Indy played LA [without her], they lost by double-digits. The Fever, however, are fresh off a Commissioner’s Cup Chip which could give them renewed confidence moving forward. The Sparks will look very different this time around; with Odyssey Sims, Shey Peddy and Liatu King being waived to bring back guards Rae Burrell (injury) and Julie Allemand (EuroBasket). One constant for them, Azura Stevens, went off for 23 points in that 85-75 win. If the Fever want to spark revenge, they’ll need big production from Commish Cup MVP Natasha Howard and firecracker Sophie Cunningham off the bench.

Seattle Storm vs New York Liberty | Sunday at 1:00 pm ET

Defending champ NY’s first meeting with Seattle didn’t go as planned: no Jonquel, no Sabrina and a 10-point loss. Two-way terror Natasha Cloud was held to just 5 points in that loss! For Seattle, it was a different story. It couldn’t have gone better! Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins combined for 46 and decimated the Liberty with an inside-out 1-2 punch. Gabby Williams recorded a double-double and the bench, although small in numbers, was efficient! NY will look to weather the Storm and get back on the winning track after what’s been a rough two weeks.

Chicago Sky vs Washington Mystics | Tuesday at 11:30 am ET

Brittney Sykes exploded for a near career-high 32 points and Washington took down Chicago 79-72 a few weeks ago. ROY candidates KiKi Iriafen and Sonia Citron were tame in that meeting, combining for a quiet 21 points, yet all the pieces came together for the Mystics. For the Sky, Angel Reese has looked better than ever lately and will need another huge performance with the absence of 6’7” big Kamilla Cardoso. They’ll also look to 3-point sniper Rachel Banham for production off the bench. She was held scoreless in that June 17th meeting.

Las Vegas Aces vs New York Liberty | Tuesday at 8:00 pm ET

These two teams saw their season begin with a mighty clash of the titans between MVP candidates Breanna Stewart and A’ja Wilson. Stewie led the Libs to a win by pouring in 25 points on 10-14 shooting, while the defending league MVP posted a ridiculous 31 points and 16 rebounds to keep the Aces competitive. The biggest story, however, was Natasha Cloud in her first games in seafoam threads: 22 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks! They don’t win that game without her tremendous all-court effort! Vegas will look a little different this time around, having waived Tiffany Mitchell, Liz Kitley and Crystal Bradford and adding NaLyssa Smith from Dallas. They won’t have to worry about dealing with 6’6” Jonquel Jones out with injury (put up 17 points in the first meeting) but must find an answer for Stewart and especially Cloud.

Indiana Fever vs Golden State Valkyries | Wednesday at 12:00 pm ET

The Valks stormed back to dissolve Indiana’s 59-55 halftime lead in their first meeting of the season and take the 11-point win. Five players scored in double-figures for Golden State, including a career-high 12 points off the bench from x-factor Chloe Bibby (who has since been waived). Cold shooting from Caitlin Clark saw the superstar go 3 for 14 from the field, including a rare performance with no 3-point baskets (0-7). If CC is available for this one (groin injury), they’ll surely need a sizzling stat line from her to get this revenge dub. Some logo 3’s, maybe a triple-double??

Phoenix Mercury vs Minnesota Lynx | Wednesday at 3:30 pm ET

Phoenix has looked completely different since the last time these two met up. They’ve been arguably the hottest team in the league the past two weeks with All-Star Satou Sabally leading the way. With starters Alyssa Thomas and Kahleah Copper back and instantly clicking, the outcome may look totally different this time around. Minnesota will lean on leading MVP contender Napheesa Collier and Sixth Player of the Year candidate Natisha Hiedeman to make it three-in-a-row.

Connecticut Sun vs Seattle Storm | Wednesday at 11:00 am ET

Rookie Aneesah Morrow had a breakout game in their first meeting, but it still wasn’t enough as CT fell 97-81. They need wins and need them desperately to keep their season alive, and a get-back win over a hot Seattle would be huge on the resume. Containing their size and speed is no easy task, but with Nees clicking off the bench, it could be a great sign, especially if vet Tina Charles gets going early. Haley Peters, who’s had a few good games but was held scoreless last time, could emerge as an x-factor off the bench.

Washington Mystics vs Las Vegas Aces | Thursday at 7:30 pm ET

With the season series split at 1-1, this contest could be one of the best of Week 8 and the rookies might have a lot to do with it! Washington won the most recent meeting, with Lucy Olsen having a breakout game, dropping 14 points off the bench and fellow rooks Sonia Citron and KiKi Iriafen combining for 33. Vegas’s Aaliyah Nye was particularly quiet in this one, scoring just 2 points in 22 minutes. With a revamped roster and revenge on their mind, the Aces will look to return the favor and beat Washington on their home court.
