WNBA Thursday Game Thread: Four games starting at 8 p.m. ET

Happy Thursday. Three games will be going on simultaneously at 8 p.m. ET, while one will be at 10 p.m. ET:

1. Atlanta Dream (16-9) at Tulsa Shock (10-17), 8 p.m. ET

The Shock tries to stretch its winning streak to three against a Dream team (no pun intended) that has lost four of its last five.

2. Phoenix Mercury (21-3) at Minnesota Lynx (20-6), 8 p.m. ET

This game is on NBA TV. The Mercury goes for a 17th straight win, while the Lynx goes for an eighth. Needless to say, it's the Game of the Night.

We have not one, but TWO previews on the game, which you can see here from Nate and another from Pat.

3. New York Liberty (11-14) at Chicago Sky (10-16), 8 p.m. ET

This game does have importance in the all-too-mediocre-if-that Eastern Conference as the Sky is fifth in the conference and trying to sneak into the playoffs, while the Liberty is trying to hold ground, or make some headway at the Mystics and the Fever.

And so you know:

4. Indiana Fever (12-14) at Seattle Storm (9-19), 10 p.m. ET

This is on LiveWell in the Seattle area.

The Fever tries to regain a tie for second in the East now the Mystics lost to the Liberty on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Storm hasn't played since last Sunday, and can they snap a six-game losing streak? As an Appliance Store man, I'm going with new over old products here.

That's all I have. Enjoy the games everyone!
