Here's what to look for during Sunday's slate:


Dallas Wings at Washington Mystics
3 p.m. ET, Entertainment & Sports Arena, Washington, D.C.

Line: Wings -5.5
Money line: Wings (-225), Mystics (+185)
Total: 166 points

BPI Prediction:
Mystics: 59.8% chance to win.
Projected margin of victory: 2.7 points

Injury Report
Wings: Lou Lopez Senechal (Out), Diamond DeShields (Out), Odyssey Sims (Dat-to-Day)
Mystics: Shakira Austin (Out), Elena Delle Donne (Out), Kristi Toliver (Out)

Fantasy streamers: The Wings' Crystal Dangerfield (available in 88.7% of leagues) has found her offense of late with three straight double-digit scoring efforts after having been in single digits the previous 10 outings. In her last three games, all against the tough defenses of the Sun and the Aces, Dangerfield has averaged a solid 13.0 PPG, 3.3 APG, 3.0 RPG, 1.3 SPG and 1.0 3PG. -- Snellings

Tianna Hawkins (available in 52.3% of leagues) is likely back in the starting lineup for the Mystics on Sunday, with Elena Delle Donne (hip) and Shakira Austin (rest) out for injury maintenance. Hawkins struggled off the bench on Friday, but she had started the 17 previous games, averaging 12.6 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 2.1 APG, 1.0 SPG, 1.0 3PG and 0.3 BPG in 28.9 MPG. -- Snellings


Connecticut Sun at Chicago Sky
5 p.m. ET, Wintrust Arena, Chicago

Line: Sun -5
Money line: Sun (-225), Sky (+185)
Total: 160 points

BPI Prediction:
Sun: 65.9% chance to win.
Projected margin of victory: 4.5 points

Injury Report
Sun: Brionna Jones (Out), Bernadett Hatar (Day-to-Day)
Sky: Rebekah Gardner (Out), Isabelle Harrison (Out)

Best bet: Sun -5. The Sky are a backcourt-driven, offensive-minded team whose best performances come when they can outscore other offense-heavy teams. The Sun are the opposite of that, led by their strong frontcourt that controls the paint and plays wicked defense. The Sun also have the third-best road record in the WNBA (12-5), while the Sky are well below .500 at home (5-10). -- Snellings


Indiana Fever at Phoenix Mercury
6 p.m. ET, Footprint Center, Phoenix

Line: Fever -3.5
Money line: Fever (-175), Mercury (+143)

Projected margin of victory: 4.0 points

Injury Report
Fever: Lexie Hull (Out)
Mercury: Brittney Griner (Out), Shey Peddy (Out), Skylar Diggins-Smith (Out)

Fantasy streamer: The Mercury's Megan Gustafson (available in 92.1% of leagues) is likely back in the starting lineup for the Mercury on Sunday with Griner (health and safety protocols) out. Gustafson missed Friday's game in the protocol herself, but in her last three starts with Griner out she averaged a robust 14.0 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 1.3 3PG and 1.0 combined SPG and BPG in 27.0 MPG. -- Snellings
