In an attempt to maintain their lead in the Eastern Conference standings, the Liberty (21-12) have dropped six of their previous ten games. They are currently tied with the Atlanta Dream, who have won eight of their last ten games.
Last time around, Minnesota’s defense held the Liberty to only 71 points, stifling the offensive. In particular, center Jonquel Jones found it difficult to locate the interior against the rough wall. Shutting down centers has allowed the Lynx’s wild defense to flourish. They lead the league in both points and rebounds given up.
Ionescu won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award. He is averaging 19.3 points, 5.4 assists, and 4.7 rebounds.
Breanna Stewart (knee), Nyara Sabally (knee), and Isabelle Harrison (concussion) are all sidelined for the Liberty.
Watch Liberty vs. Lynx on DIRECTV for nothing.
With five straight victories and the best record in the WNBA, the Lynx (27-5) appear ready for a trip back to the Finals. In the overall standings, Minnesota leads the Liberty by 6.5 games.
Napheesa Collier, the MVP front-runner and superstar, is doubtful for today’s matchup due to an ankle injury. Her average stats are 3.5 assists, 7.5 rebounds, and 23.5 points. Collier hasn’t played for the Lynx since August 2.
It shouldn’t be difficult to pick up the slack on the offense. Over the past ten games, Kayla McBride has averaged 16.2 points and four assists.
With Minnesota lacking its most effective player, the Liberty will attempt to make the game into a track meet while the Lynx will attempt to establish their deliberate slow pace.
On August 10, Minnesota defeated the Liberty 83-71.
