The Dallas Wings are at home Monday night as they host the New York Liberty in an interconference showdown.
Of course, this game was originally scheduled to take place last Thursday but was postponed due to the Liberty’s charter flight experiencing mechanical issues.
Dallas enters Monday’s contest with a 17-8 record after defeating the Los Angeles Sparks at home Sunday afternoon.
