One of the five games scheduled for Sunday is the Connecticut Sun vs. Minnesota Lynx matchup at the Target Center. The Sun are hoping to snap an eight-game losing streak, while the Lynx will try to start another winning streak after beating the Atlanta Dream on Friday.
The Lynx outlasted the Dream 96-92 in overtime, led by Napheesa Collier's 26-point night in her first game back from a back injury. The Sun, on the other hand, suffered their third consecutive double-digit defeat. They were no match for the Seattle Storm, 97-81.

Connecticut Sun vs. Minnesota Lynx Preview
Sunday's game will be the second matchup of the season between the Sun and Lynx. The Lynx defeated the Sun 76-70 in a surprisingly close game on May 24 in Minneapolis. Napheesa Collier was unstoppable in that contest with 33 points and 11 rebounds.
It's also a rematch of last year's playoff semifinals, but the Sun underwent a massive overhaul in the offseason. They are rebuilding and are one of the worst teams in the league. Their only star, Marina Mabrey, is currently out with a minor knee injury.
