Dallas Wings vs Connecticut Sun: Players to watch

Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner are the two players to watch for the Connecticut Sun, with both providing legitimate contributions at both ends of the floor. Thomas has also been dominant as a playmaker this season.

For the Wings, all eyes will be on the duo of Natasha Howard and Satou Sabally after the pair put in an impressive performance in the win over the Los Angeles Sparks in their last outing.

Tiffany Hayes could also prove to be a swing factor for the Sun against Dallas due to her 36.1% shooting from the perimeter and respectable work on the defensive glass.
