The in-form New York Liberty host the struggling Dallas Wings at the Barclays Center on Thursday (Aug. 22). The Wings are on a two-game slide and head to New York where they will be up against a formidable Liberty outfit that's already made the postseason. A win will see them extend their clinical run this 2024 WNBA season.
The Wings are out of the playoffs race with just six wins in 27 games. Their 21 losses see them one rung above the bottom-placed LA Sparks. Their last two games saw them lose to the Liberty earlier by 20 points and a 109-91 decimation at the hands of the Connecticut Sun.
Head-to-head, the New York Liberty are 3-1 in their last four matchups against the Wings. On the injuries front, Dallas has a full roster available, while Liberty will likely miss the services of Sabrina Ionescu and Leonie Fiebich. Despite the potential absence of their sharpshooter, the hosts are expected to win the contest and improve to 25-4 on Thursday.

Dallas Wings vs New York Liberty player to watch: Breanna Stewart
Breanna Stewart's rich scoring run has been instrumental in the team's successful campaign so far. The seasoned veteran is averaging 19.8 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists. The forward has been landing 45.4% of her field goal attempts and 26.4% from the deep.
Her defensive rebounding has been stellar and puts her firmly in the race for Defensive Player of the Year this season alongside Napheesa Collier (Minnesota Lynx) and A'ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces). She is also in the MVP race and her chances might surge following her recent vein of form.
She has been on fire since the Olympics break. Should NY rest Sabrina Ionescu (neck injury) for another game, the offense will depend on the forward who has 27, 18, and 26 points in three games leading up to Thursday's contest. Her good form will be instrumental as the team looks to make a title dash after missing out on the WNBA Finals last season.
