Connecticut Sun vs Minnesota Lynx - Battle of the MVP candidates
Apart from being a matchup of two of the best teams in the WNBA, Wednesday's game will be a battle of the MVP candidates. Alyssa Thomas, who was the runner-up for the award last season for the Connecticut Sun, remains one of the best players in the league this season.
Meanwhile, Napheesa Collier is quite possibly the closest competition for MVP-favorite A'ja Wilson. Collier has been having a fantastic season for the Minnesota Lynx, leading them to the 2024 WNBA Commissioner's Cup championship. It was the franchise's first trophy since the 2017 WNBA Championship.
Collier was named Commissioner's Cup MVP for her performance against the New York Liberty. She dominated the offensive end in their last game versus Connecticut, but Thomas led her team to victory.
