Scouting report
The Sun are looking for their fifth win in a row on the road against Dallas on Wednesday, after besting the Aces on Sunday. The Sun are playing great offensively as a team with Chiney Ogwumike and Jasmine Thomas leading the way. The Dallas Wings lost a nail-biter against the Washington Mystics on Sunday after Kristi Toliver hit a jumper in the last second of the game. The Wings were missing one-half of their Liz Cambage Skylar Diggins-Smith dynamic duo, as Diggins-Smith missed a second game due a facial injury. The Wings have lost five in a row and are now 14-14 on the season and eighth in the standings.
