The Dallas Wings will face a difficult challenge when the New York Liberty visit College Park on Tuesday. This matchup pits two teams on opposite sides of the standings and the Wings will need to be at their best to keep up with a star-studded Liberty lineup.
Dallas has struggled this year and won just nine of their 35 games this season. Latricia Trammell's side sit 11th in the standings and rank last in the league in points allowed per game with 91.1.
New York has set the pace in the WNBA this season. The Liberty sit first in the standings with a 29-6 record and boast one of the stingiest defenses in the league, allowing just 76.1 points on average against opponents.
