Players to watch: Seimone Augustus missed the Lynx's game on Sunday for "personal reasons" and did not practice with the team Tuesday or Wednesday, but coach Cheryl Reeve said she had not ruled her out of playing Thursday. Tamera Young was traded to the Dream from Chicago on Monday. She is averaging a career-high 10.2 points per game this season.
