The Skinny
On fire, the Sky prepare for a rematch with a Liberty squad they dismantled by 20 points Tuesday and are listed as 7.5-point favorites for Thursday's contest with the highest expected score (88.75) on the slate. Chicago has taken things in a winning direction since Candace Parker's return to the floor, riding a six-game winning streak into Thursday's action. Parker's 13.1 points per game are only topped by Kahleah Copper's 13.9, though Parker also leads the team in rebounds (8.6) and ranks second in assists (4.1) per game behind just Courtney Vandersloot (8.6). The team's offensive efficiency numbers don't look great overall at this point but that is because of the tough stretch the club endured during Parker's absence. Since Parker's return on June 9, the Sky haven's scored fewer than 81 points and are averaging 90.7 points per game.
The Liberty went down on the other end of Tuesday's loss and things don't figure to shape up a ton better for the rematch. New York really needs Sabrina Ionescu to find her shooting form again, having connected on just 18.8 percent of her attempts from the field and 20.0 percent of her shots from deep in her last six appearances. Betnijah Laney remains the primary source of scoring for the team and the Liberty will likely need to be connecting from deep at an efficient rate Thursday for a chance to keep things close. New York does sport the league's third-best shooting percentage from deep and the highest three-point attempt rate, but Chicago typically allows the fewest three-point attempts in the league and a conversion rate that isn't particularly high (33.7 percent).

The Skinny
The Wings enter Thursday in a prime spot to bounce back from a loss to the Sun with an Indiana club on the schedule that has lost all but one game so far this season. The Fever rank among th worst in the league defensively across the board, which bodes well for a high scoring output from the Wings players despite Dallas' below-average pace. The Wings may not get quite as many rebounds as usual given that the Fever sport a slate-best 51.9 percent rebound rate, but the Fever also allow a 53.2 effective field goal percentage that ranks second-highest in the league while sporting the sorest eFG% (44.5) on the offensive end of the floor. Given that the Fever typically face a barrage of three-point shots (23.0 per game on average) and opponents are converting 40.9 percent of them, this may be an area of production for the likes of Arike Ogunbowale and Marina Mabrey. Those two typically top the Wings' scoring list anyway, with Ogunbowalle tallying 20.3 points per game and Mabrey at 15.4 per game. Satou Sabally rounds out the double-digit scorers (13.1 per game) and the primary fantasy contributors, though Kayla Thornton (9.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game) can put up some solid numbers on a given night.
As mentioned above, Indiana is looking to pick up just its second win of the season. On the plus side, the Fever have been hanging around recently, losing by five to the Mystics last time out and by 10 to the Storm the game prior. While much of the rotation sees minutes fluctuate from game to game, Kelsey Mitchell has at least been a steady presence on the floor, playing no fewer than 31 minutes over the last six games. She hasn't been particularly efficient from deep recently, knocking down just one of 10 shots in the last two games, but she's the only one averaging more than a make per game from deep and faces a Dallas defense that forces the opposing team to shoot from deep often, a slate-high 23.1 times per game. Mitchell is best-equipped to take the majority of those attempts, though it's worth noting opponents are connecting on a slate-low 30.9 percent of those attempts. The Wings also send the opposition to the free-throw line often, which bodes well for Mitchell and Teaira McCowan. McCowan has tallied in double-figures in three of the last four games and has collected a pair of double-doubles in that span despite assuming a bench role for the last five games.

The Skinny
Once again, the Mystics figure to be extremely shorthanded, which means big minutes and fantasy value for a lot of the regulars in the rotation. RotoWire's optimizer particularly likes the values of Theresa Plaisance, Tina Charles and Ariel Atkins on Thursday, with each of the three ranking in the top-five value plays on both sites. All three have played a least 32 minutes in each o the last two games and figure to see that same workload tonight barring a late change in status of some of the unavailable Mystics players. Charles has posted 30-plus points in back-to-back games versus Seattle and Indiana and gets a matchup with a Sparks team also dealing with some injuries in the frontcourt with both Ogwumike sisters sidelined. Charles averages 9.6 rebounds per contest and could feast again Thursday against a Sparks team that allows the opposition to rebound at a slate-best 57.6 percent rate. Atkins is the only other healthy player averaging in double figures for the Mystics, notching 18.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. Plaisance isn't quite as huge in the fantasy realm but has put up huge numbers of late, averaging 17 points and nine rebounds over the last three games.
The Sparks enter Thursday with a slate-low 76.5 expected score thanks to the relatively slow pace expected for the contest and a lack of offensive efficiency, checking in last in the league. Backing that up is the team's 45.3 eFG%, likely due to the team's league-worst 42.7 percent conversion rate from inside the arc. The Sparks do pressure opposing teams into turnorvers often and may need to rely on the three-point game to keep this contest close. The Mystics do let opponents get good looks from outside, allowing them to knock down 39.4 percent of their shots from deep. Nia Coffey, Kristi Tolliver and Amanda Zahui B are the primary scorers from beyond the arc and could see a boost in the scoring column as a result. Zahui B's salary sits at a fairly low point due to some recent foul trouble that has caused some issues, but they will likely rely on her for a good chunk of minutes against Tina Charles.
