On Tuesday, the Seattle Storm will travel to Minneapolis to face the Minnesota Lynx at the Target Center. Both teams have enjoyed a successful start to the season, with the Lynx currently sitting on top of the WNBA standings. The Storm, on the other hand, is currently in third place.
The Lynx, under the leadership of Napheesa Collier, have splendidly started the season. Currently on top of the table, last year's finalists are unbeaten in the league, winning all four of their opening fixtures. They started the season with back-to-back away fixtures against the Wings and the Sparks before returning home for a three-game streak, which ends with them hosting the Storm tonight.
On the other hand, the Seattle franchise has had a similar start to its season. Although not unbeaten like the Lynx, the Storm has won three of its first four fixtures. After defeating the Mercury in their first game of the season, the Storm have since won three games in a row against the Dallas Wings, the Phoenix Mercury and the Las Vegas Aces.

Seattle Storm vs. Minnesota Lynx Preview
Both teams enter this game with a winning streak. The Seattle Storm has a three-game win streak, while the Lynx are undefeated in four games. The winner of this game will also top the standings, which provides huge meaning to this tie.
The Minnesota franchise has been led by its star player, Napheesa Collier, who has been their highest scorer in every game. The forward is currently averaging 29.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in four appearances. In their last game, Collier recorded a double-double against the Connecticut Sun, earning them a 6-point win.
However, the Lynx so far have faced the likes of the LA Sparks, the Dallas Wings, and the Connecticut Sun, all of whom are at the bottom of the table. This game against the Storm will be their first real challenge against an in-form team, as the WNBA season continues to progress.
On the other hand, the Seattle franchise has been led by its veterans Nneka Ogwumike and Skylar Diggins-Smith. The former has been their leading scorer and rebounder, averaging 20.5 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. She also enters the game after a successful outing against the Aces, recording 23 points and 8 rebounds. The performance also etched her name in history, as she is now ninth in the All-Time scoring list.
Alternatively, Diggins-Smith has been the highest assist provider for her team, as the experienced duo currently leads the young Seattle team. This game promises to be an entertaining one, as the two teams fight for WNBA supremacy early in the season.
