Form & Season Overview
New York Liberty: Leading the league in scoring (89.1 PPG) and stellar defensively (76.3 PPG allowed). Stars Breanna Stewart (21.1 PPG, 5.3 RPG) and Sabrina Ionescu (20.4 PPG, 5.2 APG) continue to shine.
Seattle Storm: Averaging 82.7 PPG and allowing 78.4 PPG. Strong shooting across the board at 47.2% FG and 38.5% from three, driven by Diggins-Smith (≈18 PPG) and Nneka Ogwumike (17.2 PPG, 8.5 RPG).
Recent trends: Liberty have stumbled with losses in two of their last three, including dropping their opener of a tough road trip. Meanwhile, the Storm have surged with a 5–1 push and back-to-back wins.
Key Matchups
Paint Supremacy: Despite rebounding without Jonquel Jones (10.3 RPG), the Liberty remain dominant. New York still averages a massive 35.3 RPG compared to Seattle’s 31.5. The Storm’s interior frontcourt backs up with Ogwumike and Magbegor, but they’ll be tested on the boards.
Backcourt Duel: Ionescu vs. Diggins-Smith should drive the action. Ionescu’s role as playmaker (5.2 APG, 1.8 SPG) contrasts with Diggins’ sharpshooting guard play—she’s knocked down multiple games of multiple threes recently.
Depth & Shooting Efficiency: Liberty shoot 46.6% from the field, bolstered by bench contributions—Cloud, Harrison, Sabally—without losing defensive intensity. Seattle counters their strong team shooting but display greater volatility.
