FRIDAY, MAY 30
Connecticut Sun at Indiana Fever – 7:30 PM – ION
The Fever look to bounce back at home behind Caitlin Clark as they host the ever-consistent Sun. Indiana’s offense will need to crack one of the league’s toughest defenses, with Alyssa Thomas anchoring Connecticut’s paint presence.
New York Liberty at Washington Mystics – 7:30 PM – ION
Breanna Stewart and the high-powered Liberty head to D.C. to face a struggling Mystics squad. With New York favored by 8.5 points, expect Sabrina Ionescu to push the pace early as the Mystics try to regroup without their full roster depth.
Los Angeles Sparks at Las Vegas Aces – 10:00 PM – ION
The defending champs continue to flex their dominance as the Aces host the rebuilding Sparks. A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum are set to lead the charge, while L.A. will need a huge night from Dearica Hamby to keep it close.
Minnesota Lynx at Phoenix Mercury – 10:00 PM – ION
Napheesa Collier and the Lynx hit the road as slight favorites against the Mercury. Brittney Griner’s return to form could be a deciding factor, but Minnesota’s balanced attack may prove too much for Phoenix’s thin rotation.
Atlanta Dream at Seattle Storm – 10:00 PM – ION

West Coast rivals square off as both teams aim to climb out of early-season holes. The Mercury’s backcourt experience will challenge the Sparks’ youth, with this game potentially hinging on which bench unit steps up.
