Dallas Wings (17-9) at Portland Fire (11-15) — Game Preview
The Dallas Wings head to Moda Center to face the Portland Fire with Dallas sitting 3.5 games behind the league lead and Portland further back at 9.5. Dallas has been the more productive unit on the glass all season, out-rebounding opponents at a 34.0 per game clip compared to Portland’s 29.6, and that gap shows up directly in Jessica Shepard, who leads the Wings with 11.9 rebounds a night on a split of 8.7 defensive boards and 3.2 offensive ones. Paige Bueckers gives Dallas its scoring identity too, averaging 20.9 points on 51.8% shooting from the floor and 87.2% at the line while running the offense at 6.2 assists per game.
Portland counters through Carla Leite, who is putting up 15.5 points and 5.8 assists per game on 44.0% shooting and an 88.5% mark from the free-throw line, giving the Fire a steady table-setter even in a tougher stretch. Emily Engstler rounds out Portland’s frontcourt production with 5.4 rebounds per game, split 4.3 on the defensive end and 1.2 on the offensive glass. Dallas also outscores its opponents at a higher clip overall, averaging 89.8 points per game to Portland’s 84.9, a gap that lines up with the rebounding edge and gives the visitors extra possessions to work with.

Players to Watch: Dallas Wings vs. Portland Fire
Dallas Wings
Paige Bueckers — G. Dallas leans on Bueckers to create offense at every level, and she’s answering with 20.9 points per game on 51.8% shooting from the floor. She gets to the line often too, connecting on 87.2% of her free throws, and her 6.2 assists per game keep the Wings’ offense moving beyond her own scoring. At just 2.0 turnovers a game, she’s protecting the ball well enough to carry that workload.
Jessica Shepard — F. Rebounding is where Shepard makes her living, leading Dallas at 11.9 boards a night. Her split leans heavily toward the defensive glass at 8.7 per game, though she still crashes the offensive end for another 3.2 a night. That combination makes her the clear anchor of the Wings’ frontcourt effort on the boards.
Portland Fire
Carla Leite — G. Leite has stepped into a lead-guard role for Portland, averaging 15.5 points and 5.8 assists per game to pace the Fire’s offense. She’s efficient doing it too, shooting 44.0% from the field and 88.5% at the free-throw line, one of the more reliable marks on the roster. Her 25.7 minutes per game reflect how much the Fire count on her both to score and to set up teammates.
Emily Engstler — F. On the boards, Engstler contributes 5.4 rebounds per game for Portland, with 4.3 coming on the defensive end. She adds another 1.2 a game on the offensive glass, giving the Fire a secondary rebounding option alongside their frontcourt rotation.
