Candace Parker will take on her former team as the defending champion Chicago Sky face Los Angeles. Seattle’s Big 3 is back for another championship run as one of the W’s all-time great organizations. Then, there is the return of Elena Delle Donne in D.C. and the head coaching debut of Las Vegas’ Becky Hammon.

There’s a lot to be excited about these openers. Here’s a look at Friday’s matchups, odds, and storylines.
