Its another WNBA Finals rematch on Saturday as the Minnesota Lynx (27-5) host the New York Liberty (21-12) in a matchup of two of the best teams in the league.
Last weekend, the Lynx topped the defending champions 83-71 in New York to take the second of four regular-season games between the two squads. Minnesota did it without MVP front-runner and leading scorer Napheesa Collier, who is listed as doubtful for Saturdays game with a right ankle sprain.

The Lynx, who have been without Collier since she was injured on Aug. 2, have not played since last Sundays win. The Liberty, on the other hand, have played twice, splitting two road games against the Los Angeles Sparks (a 105-97 win) and Las Vegas Aces (a 83-77 loss).
New York will also be without superstar Breanna Stewart as she continues to recover from a knee injury. Fortunately, the Liberty still have their top scorer, Sabrina Ionescu (19.3 points per game), to pick up the slack. Ionescu, who led the conference in scoring (21.4) and assists (6.6) in July, was named Eastern Conference Player of the Month for her efforts.
After Saturday, the 2024 WNBA finalists square off one more time this regular season on Tuesday, Aug. 19, in New York.
With about one month left in the season, the Lynx and Liberty both look to finish strong and secure optimal playoff seeding. Minnesota is 6.5 games ahead of the Liberty for the best record in the WNBA. The Atlanta Dream (21-12) are also hanging around near the top of the league standings.
