In the first quarterfinal of the 2017 WNBA Playoffs, the fifth-seeded Phoenix Mercury (19-16), are visiting the fourth-seeded Connecticut Sun (21-13), in a knock-out game that will determine who will advance to the semifinals to face the defending champions Los Angeles Sparks.

Connecticut Sun finished the regular season with a 21-13 record and were placed in the 4th place of the league table. They are coming from back-to-back losses and in their last game they lost on the road against Los Angeles with a 70-81 score. Jonquel Jones leads the team in scoring with 15.4 ppg, adding a league-best 11.9 rebounds per game. She is followed by Alyssa Thomas with 14.8 ppg, 6.8 rebounds and a team high 4.5 assists per game, while Jasmine Thomas adds 14.2 ppg and 4.3 assists per game.

Phoenix Mercury finished the regular season with an 18-16 record and were placed in the 5th place of the league. They have four consecutive wins and in their last game they eliminated Seattle in the first round of the playoffs with a 79-69 score. Brittney Griner leads the team in scoring with 21.9 ppg, adding team highs both in rebounding with 7.6 per game and in blocks with 2.5 per game. Diana Taurasi follows with 17.9 ppg, while Monique Currie adds 10.2 ppg.

This will be the fourth meeting between those two teams this season, with Connecticut leading 2-1 wins and each team having won at home. Connecticut are 12-5 at home, while Phoenix are 9-8 on the road. Connecticut are better both offensively, scoring a second-best 86 ppg to Phoenix’s 81.9, and defensively, allowing 81.6 ppg to Phoenix’s 81.9. Connecticut have better percentages both in field goals, shooting with 44.8% to Phoenix’s 44%, and in 3-pointers, shooting with a third-best 36.5% to Phoenix’s 33.9%. Connecticut are also better in rebounding, grabbing a second-best 36.7 per game, to Phoenix’s 32.1, commit less turnovers, with a second-best 12.5 to Phoenix’s 14.1, and dish slightly more assists (17.8 to 17.6). Connecticut despite having lost their last couple of games they had more time to regroup and rest so expect them to win by more than 5 points today.
