Players to Watch: New York Liberty vs. Los Angeles Sparks
New York Liberty
Breanna Stewart — F. New York’s leading scorer puts up 21.1 points per game on 46.7% shooting from the field, doing most of her damage without leaning on a heavy three-point diet. She’s automatic from the stripe too, hitting 85.7% of her free throws, which keeps her scoring efficient in close games.
Pauline Astier — G. Astier directs the Liberty offense at 3.6 assists per game across 24.2 minutes a night, and she protects the ball well, coughing it up just 1.7 times per contest. Her steady hand off the bench gives New York a reliable second ball-handler alongside its bigger names.
Jonquel Jones — C. Rebounding is where Jones does her heaviest lifting, pulling down 9.2 boards a game with 7.1 of them on the defensive glass. Her 2.1 offensive rebounds per night also help extend New York possessions when the first shot misses.
Los Angeles Sparks
Nneka Ogwumike — F. Ogwumike gives Los Angeles a two-way frontcourt presence, scoring 17.1 points per game on 52.2% shooting while also leading the way inside with 9.1 rebounds. She’s just as reliable from the line, converting 85.3% of her free throws.
Erica Wheeler — G. Wheeler sets the table for the Sparks with 5.1 assists per game over a team-high 28.0 minutes on the floor. She limits the turnovers that can derail a possession, giving the ball away just 2.0 times a night.
Dearica Hamby — F. Coming off the bench, Hamby adds 14.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, with 5.4 of those boards coming on the defensive end. That blend of scoring and rebounding gives Los Angeles valuable frontcourt depth beyond its starters.
