Tuesday’s WNBA clash pits together two very contrasting teams – New York Liberty and Dallas Wings – and also battle between two of the league's top scorers: Sabrina Ionescu and Arike Ogunbowale.
It’s also a game with little relevance for the Liberty, who have already clinched a playoff spot. The Eastern Conference outfit will, however, look to continue their 12-game undefeated streak at home, with their last and only defeat dating back to May 24 and solidify their position at the top.
The Liberty’s opponents’ track record doesn't represent their quality. The Wings have endured a challenging season, losing 18 of their last 21 games, including 11 consecutive road losses.
With the return of Satou Sabally, the Wings have plenty of potential, supported by players like Arike Ogunbowale and Teaira McCowan. However, it's on defense where they are suspect, as they hold the league’s worst defensive record.
The matchup could also feature a sibling rivalry, as Satou Sabally might face off against her sister, Nyara, if both players start the game.

Dallas Wings vs. New York Liberty: One player to watch
Satou Sabally made a big impact on her return to from long-time injury, contributing 20 points, seven assists and eight rebounds in the Wings’ loss to the Connecticut Sun.
The forward offers a different dynamic to her partners, often finding open spaces by dropping deep into the paint before scoring or creating opportunities.
The Wings typically struggle to create chances against well-rounded teams like the Liberty and will need a big performance from Sabally to end their poor road run.
