Candace Parker and Breanna Stewart clash Tuesday night in a meeting between two of the best teams in the WNBA.

Breanna Stewart is coming off a season-high 33-point performance, but she may have to replicate that production if Seattle hopes to defend its home court against Las Vegas on Sunday.

Azura Stevens took on a starting role Friday with Candace Parker sidelined due to a non-COVID illness, and Stevens should see increased run once again Sunday since Parker remains out.

With Elena Delle Donne resting, Ariel Atkins will have to step up offensively and lead the Washington Mystics against Arike Ogunbowale and the Dallas Wings on Thursday night.

Arike Ogunbowale struggled in the first game after the All-Star break, but shes bounced back (25.0 points over her last three games) and will look to continue her strong play against the Fever on Sunday.

Sylvia Fowles has posted double-doubles in three of her last four appearances and should have plenty of frontcourt work Friday since Damiris Dantas is away from the team.

Elena Delle Donne will look to continue her solid play against Sabrina Ionescu and the Liberty during a Thursday afternoon contest in Washington.

Rhyne Howard has been cleared to return following a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury and will look to continue her breakout rookie campaign against the Aces on Tuesday.

Aja Wilson has been on a tear lately and should be in store for another big game with Jonquel Jones absent due to COVID-19 protocols.

Arike Ogunbowale will look to bounce back in a big way Thursday after shooting just 4-for-18 from the field during Dallas first game of the second half.
