Bueckers has started the 2026 season hot from beyond the three-point line. She’s shooting 57.9% from deep, and has hit at least two threes in three of her last four games. I like her to build on that trend tonight as she continues to lead the Dallas Wings offense, which leads the WNBA in offensive rating this year.

Now in her third professional season, Clark has averaged 8.6 assists per game for the Indiana Fever, a number that has risen to an average of 9.0 assists so far in 2026. Clark has gone for 9+ assists in each of her last three games, aided by a Fever team that is playing at the fastest pace in the WNBA. Golden State might force some turnovers tonight, but Clark will get the ball to her teammates and hit her assists Over.

The Fever got a slap on the wrist for a late decision to sit Caitlin Clark in Wednesday’s win over Portland. The star guard is nursing a back injury but is probable for tonight’s tilt with Golden State. The Valkyries are a very physical team on both ends of the floor. Indiana head coach Stephanie White will be careful with the face of the franchise, especially after Clark missed most of 2025 with injuries. It wouldn’t surprise me to see her minutes trimmed. If her back is hurting, Clark will be a little hesitant to mix it up on the glass against a Golden State squad that gets after it, ranked No. 5 in rebounding. On top of that, the Valkyries will employ their methodical pace and there will be fewer shot attempts – and less rebounding chances – overall.

Brittney Griner leads Connecticut in scoring at 15 points per tilt, and she’s scored 16 in back-to-back appearances.

Seattle will be without Dominique Malonga for a third straight contest, and the Storm ceded the most points in the paint to opponents in her absence at a whopping 50 per tilt. In that span, the Storm sport the second-lowest defensive rebound percentage at 63.3%.

Griner posted 16 points on 54.5% shooting against the 6’7 Malonga when she first faced Seattle, but she’ll face less resistance down low tonight, which should lead to easier buckets for the 6’9 veteran.

Even in her age 35 season, Brittny Griner remains a capable scorer. It’s not going to good use for a terrible Connecticut Sun team, but she is putting up 15.0 ppg on 52.9% shooting to start the year, numbers that are down only slightly from her glory days with the Phoenix Mercury. Against a Seattle Storm team allowing 40 ppg in the paint, Griner should feast and hit her scoring total.
