Players to Watch: New York Liberty vs. Indiana Fever
New York Liberty
Breanna Stewart — F. A do-it-all forward, Stewart leads the Liberty scoring at 20.4 points per game while shooting 46.7% from the field. She’s just as dependable at the stripe, connecting on 86.9% of her free throw attempts, and that blend of touch and volume makes her New York’s first scoring option on any given night.
Pauline Astier — G. Averaging 3.6 assists per game in 24.3 minutes a night, Astier runs the Liberty offense in a floor-general role built around ball security. She turns the ball over just 1.8 times per game, a ratio that keeps New York’s sets flowing smoothly through her hands.
Jonquel Jones — C. Inside, Jones does the heavy lifting on the glass, pulling down 9.3 rebounds per game with 7.4 of those coming on the defensive end. Her 1.9 offensive boards per game add a second-chance dimension to a Liberty attack that leans on her size against smaller frontcourts.
Indiana Fever
Kelsey Mitchell — G. Indiana’s leading scorer, Mitchell is averaging 22.6 points per game on 48.6% shooting, the most efficient high-volume scoring mark in this matchup. She backs that up at the free throw line too, hitting 86.8% of her attempts, giving the Fever a closer who won’t hurt them late.
Caitlin Clark — G. The engine of Indiana’s offense, Clark is dishing 7.7 assists per game across 29.5 minutes of nightly floor time. Her 4.6 turnovers per game reflect the load of initiating nearly every possession, a tradeoff the Fever willingly accept for the shot creation she provides.
Aliyah Boston — C. Eight rebounds a night is Boston’s baseline, and she’s clearing it with 8.7 boards per game, 6.8 of them on the defensive glass. Her 1.9 offensive rebounds per game give Indiana extra possessions inside, rounding out the frontcourt to go with the backcourt scoring from Mitchell and Clark.
