The Phoenix Mercury are looking to win their third straight game on Wednesday when they welcome the Dallas Wings at Footprint Center. The Mercury have won three of their last five games, while the Wings have just one win in their last five contests.
It's been a tough season for Dallas as they are currently in last place in the WNBA standings. They have the same record (5-17) as the Washington Mystics and LA Sparks, but they don't hold the tiebreaker.
On the other hand, Phoenix is one win above .500 with an 11-10 record, which is good for sixth place in the standings. Wednesday's game will be the fourth and final matchup between the two teams this season.

The Wings won the first meeting back in May before Phoenix earned the next two on June 9 and July 3.

Dallas Wings vs. Phoenix Mercury Injury Reports
The Dallas Wings have four players on their injury report – Maddy Siegrist, Jaelyn Brown, Awak Kuier and Satou Sabally. Siegriest is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery on her left index finger, while Brown has been dealing with an unspecified illness.
Kuier and Sabally have not played for the Wings this season. Kuier is expected to miss the entire season due to rest, while Sabally has a shoulder injury. She's likely to return after the Olympics break.
On the other hand, the Phoenix Mercury has three players on its injury report – Diana Taurasi, Charisma Osborne and Rebecca Allen. Taurasi will miss her second straight game due to a lower left leg injury, while Osborne will miss her fifth consecutive game with an undisclosed leg injury.
Allen is listed as probable, so she'll likely suit up against the Wings.
