Players to Watch: Toronto Tempo vs. Minnesota Lynx
Toronto Tempo
Brittney Sykes — G. Sykes is putting up 25.6 points per game on 39.6% from the floor, carrying the heaviest scoring load on the Toronto roster. She gets to the free-throw line and cashes in at 90.4%, which keeps the Tempo in games even when the perimeter shots aren’t falling. At 33.6 minutes per night and 4.8 assists per game, she handles primary playmaking duty for an expansion side still feeling out its lineup.
Marina Mabrey — G. Running alongside Sykes in the backcourt, Mabrey is averaging 20.8 points per game and converting 40.9% of her three-point attempts, the kind of stretch shooting Toronto needs to keep the floor wide. Her 92.3% free-throw conversion is among the more reliable numbers in the Tempo lineup, and 27.6 minutes a night puts her on the floor for most of the heavy lifting.
Kiki Rice — G. Rice has been the most efficient guard on the Toronto roster, hitting 55.9% from the floor and 50.0% from three on lower volume than her backcourt mates. She contributes 11.4 points per game in 25.6 minutes and gives the Tempo a steady third option behind Sykes and Mabrey.
Minnesota Lynx
Kayla McBride — G. McBride leads the Lynx at 16.3 points per game on 42.6% shooting and an 86.4% free-throw clip, the dependable wing scorer Minnesota leans on for nightly production. Her 34.8 minutes per game tell you how central she is to the rotation, especially with Collier working back from injury.
Olivia Miles — G. Operating the point, Miles is averaging 5.8 assists against 3.0 turnovers per game and shooting 47.8% from the floor in 31.5 minutes. The 94.1% free-throw conversion is the most reliable number on the Minnesota stat sheet, and she chips in 15.5 points per game as a secondary scoring threat.
Natasha Howard — F. On the glass and around the rim, Howard is producing 7.5 rebounds and 15.8 points per game while shooting an absurd 63.6% from the floor in 28.0 minutes. The trade-off is her 35.0% free-throw mark, which gives Minnesota’s late-game lineups something to think about.
