Tuesday Night Open Thread: Candace Parker's return to the Sparks on NBA TV

One big story tonight is probably going to be Maya Moore returning to Connecticut as a member of the Minnesota Lynx.

But the event with more significant playoff implications is Candace Parker's return to the L.A. Sparks tonight against the Atlanta Dream, which also makes the Seattle Storm's road game against the Phoenix Mercury significant - with a Sparks win and Storm loss tonight, the Sparks would be within striking distance of the playoffs with 11 games to play.

Who: Washington Mystics at New York Liberty
When: 7:00 pm EDT on WNBA LiveAccess
What: For all of their struggles this season, the Mystics can actually win the season series with the Liberty 3-1 with a win tonight. And little things mean a lot.

Who: Indiana Fever at San Antonio Silver Stars
When: 8 pm EDT
What: The Fever pounded the Silver Stars exactly a week ago. Tonight is not only about revenge, but the Silver Stars not losing any ground in an increasingly competitive Western Conference.

Who: Seattle Storm at Phoenix Mercury
When: 10 pm EDT on WNBA LiveAccess
What: Although the Storm have apparently had the Mercury's number in recent years, they haven't been particularly strong on the road this year and a loss to a conference rival tonight could hurt with Parker returning. With Parker's return, this game gains significance as well.

Who: Atlanta Dream at Los Angeles Sparks
When: 10:30 pm EDT
What: The Dream are starting to peak at the right time with a blowout of the Storm this past weekend, but the Sparks have a chance to close the gap between them and the Storm with a victory in Parker's return.
