The Connecticut Sun (0-2) visit the Minnesota Lynx (3-0) on May 23, Friday, at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
As expected, the Lynx are flexing their might at the start of the season. They've beaten Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings twice, and defeated the Los Angeles Sparks by double digits. Their average winning margin has been 11 points so far.
Napheesa Collier and Courtney Williams have been dealing the most damage so far. Collier is averaging 28.3 points on an efficient 57.7% clip from the field, while Williams is producing all-around numbers of 17.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 8.7 assists.
The Lynx are doing all these even without the services of the injured Kayla McBride, who averaged 15.0 points and 3.2 assists last season. Alanna Smith and Marieme Badiane are also listed probably in the team's injury report.
Meanwhile, the Sun has lost their first two games of the season, with the most recent an 87-62 defeat to the Las Vegas Aces. This was expected of them, when they parted ways with key players like Alyssa Thomas and Brionna Jones. Aneesah Morrow, their seventh-overall pick in this year's draft, is still nursing a knee injury.

Despite missing Kayla McBride at the start of the season, the Lynx isn't wasting any time. They've won their first three assignments, with Napheesa Collier and Courtney Williams leading the way.
The same couldn't be said for the rebuilding Sun, as they're still looking for their first win of the year.
