WNBA Saturday Open Thread: Two games starting at 8 p.m. ET

Let's get to them:

1. Minnesota Lynx (21-6) at Tulsa Shock (10-18), 8 p.m. ET

The Lynx goes for a ninth straight as they face the Tulsa Shock on the road. Hate to say it, but I'd be shocked to see the Black and Gold emerge with the victory.

2. Indiana Fever (13-14) at Phoenix Mercury (22-4), 10 p.m. ET

The Fever will try to get back to .500 tonight and get ahead of the Washington Mystics for the second seed in the East. However, the Mercury should still be heavily favored to win this match nevertheless.

Speaking about Mercury stuff, here's a feature from Kris Habbas of SB Nation's Bright Side of the Sun on the brewing rivalry Phoenix has against Minnesota.

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