Dallas Wings (26-16) at Phoenix Mercury (15-27) — Game Preview
Dallas Wings (26-16) hit the road to face Phoenix Mercury (15-27) at Mortgage Matchup Center on September 21, with the two clubs headed in very different directions as the regular season winds down. Dallas is the more productive offense of the two, averaging 89.1 points per game to Phoenix’s 84.4, a gap built possession by possession rather than off one hot shooting night.
Paige Bueckers leads that attack averaging 20.6 points and 5.8 assists a game while shooting 50.9% from the field and 86.3% from the line, the clear engine of the Wings’ offense. On the home side, Natasha Mack paces Phoenix with 8.7 points per game on an efficient 60.4% shooting clip, adding 6.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks a night. Jessica Shepard gives Dallas a second interior presence, leading her team with 10.9 rebounds per game, 8.1 of them on the defensive glass.
Alyssa Thomas, who keeps Phoenix organized from the forward spot, is averaging 8.4 assists and 7.8 rebounds per game even in a difficult season for the Mercury. Dallas enters the night six games behind the conference leader, adding a little extra weight to a trip against a Mercury team already playing out the string.

Dallas Wings
Paige Bueckers — G. The Wings’ floor general is averaging 20.6 points and 5.8 assists per game this season, shooting an efficient 50.9% from the field. She protects the ball well for her usage rate, coughing it up just 2.2 times a game while logging a team-high 32.8 minutes a night, and her 86.3% mark from the free-throw line makes her a threat late in close games.
Jessica Shepard — F. Rebounding is where Shepard makes her living, leading Dallas with 10.9 boards per game, 8.1 of them coming on the defensive end. Her 2.8 offensive rebounds per game also keep the Wings’ possessions alive when the first shot doesn’t fall.
