2016 WNBA season Game Thread: NBA TV Saturday double-header

Greetings. Here's the open thread for a two-game Saturday in the 2016 WNBA regular season.

The Washington Mystics will host the Atlanta Dream at 7 p.m. ET. The game will be shown on NBA TV and the Monumental Network.

The Mystics are coming off a 109-106 triple-overtime victory over the Connecticut Sun three nights ago, and are eager to improve on their record. The Mystics (5-7) are currently in sixth place in the overall WNBA standings. The game against the Dream is the first of a five-game homestand.

The visiting Dream, meanwhile, which are coming off a 101-97 overtime victory over the Chicago Sky last night, will try to maintain hold of the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The Dream have an 8-3 record so far, the best in the East and third-best in the league behind the undefeated Los Angeles Sparks and Minnesota Lynx.

At 10 p.m. ET is the clash between the Phoenix Mercury and Dallas Wings. The game will also be on NBA TV and will also be shown on Fox Sports Arizona and Fox Sports Southwest.

Both the Mercury and Wings have a 4-7 record entering this game, but the Mercury are coming off a loss to the Sparks last night. The Wings are trying to make it two wins in a row.
