Portland Fire (15-22) at Dallas Wings (22-16) — Game Preview
The Portland Fire (15-22) travel to College Park Center to face the Dallas Wings (22-16) this Tuesday. Dallas holds a clear rebounding edge over its visitor, out-boarding opponents to the tune of 34.0 boards a game against Portland’s 30.2, and that gap shows up in the two teams’ top options inside. Guard Carla Leite carries the Fire’s offense, averaging 15.8 points and 6.3 assists a game while shooting 45.1% from the floor, though she’s also giving the ball away 3.3 times a night.
Paige Bueckers, on the other side, leads Dallas with 20.6 points per game on 50.6% shooting and adds 5.8 assists while turning it over just 2.2 times, a tidier number than her counterpart across the floor. Forward Jessica Shepard is doing the heavy lifting on the glass for the Wings, pulling down 11.1 rebounds a game with 8.3 of those coming on the defensive end. The Fire sit 15 games behind the league leader while the Wings, at 8.5 back, still have plenty to play for down the stretch.

Players to Watch: Portland Fire vs. Dallas Wings
Portland Fire
Carla Leite — G. Leite runs the Fire’s attack, averaging 15.8 points and 6.3 assists across 25.8 minutes a night. She’s efficient from the field at 45.1% and even better from the free-throw line at 87.0%, though her 3.3 turnovers per game are a number Dallas will look to exploit.
Emily Engstler — F. Engstler’s value shows up on the glass, where she’s pulling down 5.3 rebounds a game, 4.2 of them on the defensive end. Her 1.1 offensive rebounds per night round out a frontcourt profile built more on positioning than raw scoring punch.
Dallas Wings
Paige Bueckers — G. At 20.6 points per game on a sharp 50.6% from the floor, Bueckers is the clear focal point of the Dallas offense. She adds 5.8 assists a night while turning the ball over just 2.2 times, and her 33.3 minutes per game reflect how much the Wings lean on her workload.
Jessica Shepard — F. No one else in this matchup rebounds like Shepard, who averages 11.1 boards a game with 8.3 coming on the defensive glass. Her 2.9 offensive rebounds per night give Dallas extra possessions that Portland’s smaller frontcourt has to account for.
