Players to Watch: Portland Fire vs. Minnesota Lynx

Portland Fire

Carla Leite — G. Leite leads the Portland backcourt with 14.0 points and 5.5 assists per game across 24.2 minutes a night. She is reliable from the line at 87.7 percent and shoots 45.3 percent from the floor, though her 3.2 turnovers per game leave room to tighten the ball handling against a stingy Minnesota defense.

Emily Engstler — F. Engstler tops the Fire’s rebounding chart at 4.8 boards per game, doing most of her work on the defensive end. Her split of 3.8 defensive rebounds against 1.0 on the offensive glass shows where she is most active, and she will be tested by a Lynx front line that grabs 37.5 rebounds per game as a team.

Minnesota Lynx

Olivia Miles — G. Running the Minnesota offense, Miles is putting up 18.6 points and 5.9 assists per game while logging 30.9 minutes a night. Her 53.5 percent mark from the field and 91.8 percent at the free-throw line make her one of the more efficient lead guards in the league, and her scoring paces every player in this matchup.

Natasha Howard — F. Howard gives the Lynx a steady interior presence, leading the team with 7.5 rebounds per game. She is comfortable working both ends of the glass, pairing 4.1 defensive rebounds with 3.4 on the offensive side, a balance that helps Minnesota generate second chances.
