Tuesday’s pair of nationally televised WNBA games might be one of this season’s best. The action opens with another Finals rematch, as the defending champion New York Liberty host the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx along Atlantic Avenue.

The Lynx are riding a five-game winning streak despite Napheesa Collier -- a top candidate for WNBA MVP -- currently out for at least two weeks with an ankle injury. On Tuesday, they became the first team to clinch a playoff spot and have a big lead in the race for the No. 1 seed.

The top two WNBA teams face off at Target Center, with Minnesota seeking a third-straight win over New York this season despite key injuries to star players.
