The Phoenix Mercury are currently on a two-game winning streak. On Sunday, they defeated the Chicago Sky handily, 83-67. Some were overthinking Tuesday night's game against the Connecticut Sun, who own the worst record in the league but had shown good fight over their two previous matchups.

Indiana began the trip with an 88-78 victory against the Dallas Wings and followed that with a 78-74 win over the Seattle Storm and a 100-91 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. Caitlin Clark has missed the last eight games with a right groin injury and has no timetable for her return.
