Mercury vs Liberty Team News
Phoenix Mercury: There are no significant injury issues for the Mercury going into Game 3. The "Big 3" of Satou Sabally, Alyssa Thomas, and Kahleah Copper performed at a high level and will lead the way again. Role players like DeWanna Bonner and Sami Whitcomb will be key reserves.
New York Liberty: The Liberty's major concern is an MCL sprain for Breanna Stewart, who is questionable for Game 3. Sabrina Ionescu struggled in Game 2, so she will need to produce some good minutes and get some relief from a few of the other players on the roster, including Jonquel Jones and Natasha Cloud.
Mercury vs Liberty Form Guide

Their offense has been averaging over 82 points per game, and they tightened the defense in Game 2 – limiting New York to just 60 points (New York's lowest score of the year). Phoenix has not lost this season when five or more players score in double digits.
New York Liberty: The Liberty has been one of the strongest offensive teams all season, scoring 84 points per game. However, of late, they have dipped below their season average in the last 10 games. They remain a dangerous team, but they need to find their shooting rhythm to advance.
