ESPN2, 106.1-FM
Liberty has lost six of past eight
Preview: The Lynx (14-10) have won two straight and are looking to go into the All-Star break with some momentum, given what awaits them after the break: back-to-back road games at Los Angeles and Seattle, then a home game vs. Atlanta. Three games against the top three teams in the WNBA in four nights. The Lynx are currently in a tie with Washington for fifth in the WNBA, 3½ games behind Seattle, but just a game behind second-place Atlanta and a half-game back of L.A. and Phoenix. The Liberty (7-17) has lost three straight and six of eight.
Players to watch: Lynx F Maya Moore is coming off a season-high 38 points in a victory at Phoenix. Post player Tina Charles, headed to the All-Star Game, is the only Liberty player averaging in double figures. She is averaging 19.8 points and 6.8 rebounds.
Injuries: The Lynx report no injuries. New York G Epiphanny Prince (eye) and G Shavonte Zellous (ankle) are questionable.
