Projected Lineups and Recent Form

Leading Players

Phoenix leaders: Kahleah Copper — primary scorer and transition threat; Alyssa Thomas — points, rebounds and assists hub. Los Angeles leaders: Nneka Ogwumike — interior scoring and rebounding; Rae Burrell — perimeter scoring and secondary creation.

Efficiency Report

This is the tightest spread on the board and the total is one of the highest. Phoenix wants to use Thomas as a possession organizer, attack early and create cross-matches for Copper. Los Angeles can answer with size, offensive rebounding and multiple veteran ball handlers. The decisive efficiency categories are turnover rate and second-chance points. Both defenses have allowed more than 111 points per 100 possessions, so empty trips will be especially costly in a game priced near a pick’em.

Game Summary

The market sees little separation between these teams. Phoenix owns the best individual playmaking engine in Thomas, while Los Angeles has the deeper healthy frontcourt. The late injury check matters because both backcourts are already shortened.

Projected Lineups and Recent Form

Leading Players

Minnesota leaders: Kayla McBride — elite perimeter scoring; Natasha Howard — interior scoring and rebounding. Seattle leaders: Dominique Malonga — interior finishing and rebounding; Natisha Hiedeman — guard creation and pace control.

Efficiency Report

Minnesota’s advantage begins with spacing and decision quality. McBride forces aggressive closeouts, while Williams and Miles can turn those reactions into paint touches. Seattle must keep the turnover count low and prevent Minnesota from converting live-ball mistakes into early offense. Without Magbegor, the Storm are vulnerable on the defensive glass and at the rim. Pace is important because a faster game increases possessions for the superior offense but also gives Seattle more opportunities to stay within a large number through variance.

Game Summary

Seattle showed it can score against Minnesota, but repeating that performance without its full frontcourt is a difficult assignment. Minnesota’s depth, perimeter shooting and defensive structure explain the road-favorite price.

Projected Lineups and Recent Form

Leading Players

Chicago leaders: Kamilla Cardoso — 14.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game; Azura Stevens — frontcourt scoring and spacing. New York leaders: Breanna Stewart — 21.1 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game; Sabrina Ionescu — perimeter scoring and primary creation.

Efficiency Report

Chicago’s clearest path is through Cardoso touches, offensive rebounding and free throws. New York can pressure that plan by crowding the paint and forcing the Sky’s depleted guard group to make repeated reads. The Liberty should have a major advantage in half-court shot creation with Stewart and Ionescu. Turnover rate is the swing metric: Chicago cannot give New York transition opportunities, and New York must avoid careless possessions that keep a double-digit underdog alive.

Game Summary

New York has the better late-clock creators and the more reliable offensive ceiling, but the Liberty’s wing injuries reduce lineup flexibility. Chicago needs a physical, lower-variance game centered on the paint and the glass.

Projected Lineups and Recent Form

Leading Players

Las Vegas leaders: A’ja Wilson — elite scoring, rebounding and rim protection; Jackie Young — secondary scoring and efficient guard play. Washington leaders: Kiki Iriafen — scoring and rebounding; Sonia Citron — two-way wing production and late-game shot creation.

Efficiency Report

The low total reflects Washington’s preference for a measured game and its ability to defend the paint without constant double-teams. Las Vegas will test that structure through Wilson post touches, high-low action and Gray’s pick-and-roll manipulation. Washington must win the turnover battle and generate enough transition offense to avoid playing every possession against a set Aces defense. Offensive rebounding is another key area because Iriafen and Austin can extend possessions against a Las Vegas team that sometimes concedes second chances when Wilson is pulled away from the rim.

Game Summary

Washington is capable of making this game physical and slow, but Las Vegas owns the best player and the stronger late-game offense. The Mystics’ best route is defensive discipline, rebounding and balanced scoring.

Projected Lineups and Recent Form

Leading Players

Connecticut leaders: Brittney Griner — interior scoring and rim protection; Diamond Miller — wing scoring and transition play. Indiana leaders: Caitlin Clark — primary scorer and passer; Kelsey Mitchell — perimeter scoring and off-ball pressure.

Efficiency Report

Indiana wants pace, early drag screens and quick-hitting actions before Connecticut can establish Griner in the paint. The Sun must reduce the number of possessions, protect the defensive glass and make Indiana score through half-court execution. Connecticut’s turnover rate is critical because live-ball mistakes will feed the Fever’s strongest phase. Indiana must also avoid overhelping on Griner and giving up rhythm threes to secondary shooters.

Game Summary

The Fever have the clear creation advantage and the healthier rotation. Connecticut needs a methodical game, strong offensive rebounding and a high-efficiency Griner performance to keep the spread in reach.

Projected Lineups and Recent Form

Leading Players

Dallas leaders: Arike Ogunbowale — high-volume scoring and late-clock creation; Jessica Shepard — rebounding, interior scoring and passing. Portland leaders: Bridget Carleton — perimeter shooting and wing defense; Carla Leite — primary ball handling and playmaking.

Efficiency Report

Bueckers’ absence changes Dallas’ shot distribution but does not eliminate its scoring options. Ogunbowale should carry a larger creation load, while Fudd’s shooting and Shepard’s interior passing can keep the offense balanced. Portland must defend without overhelping and win the possession battle through offensive rebounds and forced turnovers. Dallas’ ability to keep turnovers low has been a major strength, and that efficiency can travel against a Portland team missing multiple rotation players.

Game Summary

Dallas has the stronger offensive foundation and the best late-game scorer. Portland’s chance rests on controlling tempo, creating second chances and forcing the Wings into a less efficient one-on-one game.
