Confirmed Lineup: Natasha Cloud, Diana Taurasi, Kahleah Copper, Sophie Cunningham, Brittney Griner
Charisma Osborne (leg) — Out
Rebecca Allen (hamstring) — Injured
Phoenix traded Sug Sutton to Washington at the trade deadline on Tuesday, opening up some playing time behind Cloud and Taurasi. With Osborne still hurt, Monique Billings and Mikiah Herbert Harrigan are the leading contenders to see an increase in their bench roles. However, the Mercury are only carrying eight healthy players after the trade. It seems possible the team could add someone to the roster before this game against Atlanta.
Confirmed Lineup: Jordin Canada, Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Naz Hillmon, Tina Charles
Aerial Powers (calf) — Injured
Cheyenne Parker-Tyus (ankle) — Injured
The Dream suffered another injury blow on Tuesday with the news that Parker-Tyus would miss at least a few weeks with a left ankle ailment. She suffered the initial injury in the previous outing and was forced to exit that game early. Nia Coffey figures to see an elevated role off the bench for the time being, and Laeticia Amihere could join the rotation. Parker-Tyus is averaging 9.2 points and 4.8 rebounds in 19.7 minutes per contest this season.
Confirmed Lineup: Courtney Williams, Kayla McBride, Bridget Carleton, Napheesa Collier, Alanna Smith
Myisha Hines-Allen (acquired) — TBD
The Lynx made the biggest move of Tuesday's WNBA trade deadline by acquiring Hines-Allen from the Mystics in exchange for Olivia Epoupa, Sika Kone, and a second-round pick. A valuable depth piece for Minnesota, Hines-Allen has averaged 8.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 27 games for Washington. She's made 10 starts for the Mystics, upping her averages to 10.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game in those opportunities.
Confirmed Lineup: Chelsea Gray, Kelsey Plum, Jackie Young, A'ja Wilson, Kiah Stokes
