Players to Watch: New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx
New York Liberty
Breanna Stewart — F. Breanna Stewart anchors New York’s frontcourt, averaging a team-best 20.5 points per game while connecting on 47.5 percent of her shots from the field. Her 86.3 percent clip at the free-throw line makes her a reliable closer late in games. No player on the Liberty roster carries a heavier scoring burden this season.
Pauline Astier — G. Running New York’s offense from the point is Pauline Astier, who distributes 3.8 assists per game across 24.4 minutes on the floor. She protects the ball well, turning it over just 1.6 times per game, a ratio that keeps the Liberty’s offense flowing in the halfcourt.
Jonquel Jones — C. Underneath the basket, Jonquel Jones does the heavy lifting for New York, pulling down 9.1 rebounds per game with 7.3 of those coming on the defensive glass. Her 1.8 offensive rebounds per game hand the Liberty a handful of extra possessions most nights.
Minnesota Lynx
Natasha Howard — F. Rebounding is Natasha Howard’s calling card, and she delivers 8.0 boards per game for Minnesota, split between 4.7 on the defensive end and 3.3 on the offensive glass. That work crashing the offensive boards keeps extra possessions alive for a Lynx offense that already outscores New York on a per-game basis.
Courtney Williams — G. With Collier out, more of Minnesota’s offense runs through Courtney Williams, who is averaging 16.0 points and 4.2 assists per game on 46.6 percent shooting. She turns the ball over just 2.0 times per game, a manageable rate given how often the ball is in her hands.
Kayla McBride — G. Kayla McBride rounds out Minnesota’s backcourt scoring at 15.8 points per game, and she is money at the free-throw line, converting 89.3 percent of her attempts. Her 42.8 percent mark from the field trails Williams, but her scoring punch gives the Lynx a second reliable outlet in the backcourt.
