Today's slate: WNBA · Preview & Predictions. See today's Fast Break · Pro.
The WNBA Finals open with Atlanta at Golden State. Kiah Stokes and Angel Reese sit at the top of the rebounding and blocks board, and with only one game on the slate, how you spend your players matters more than usual.
Considerations
This is Day 1 of the WNBA Finals Run, with Game 1 at Golden State; the series will see between 4 and 6 games
Player limits matter far more in the Finals: early usage means a player is not available later in the series. A longer series strains the collection, while a sweep leaves unused limits on the table
The REB/BLK and PITP/OREB objectives tilt heavily toward Angel Reese and Kiah Stokes. They are the top two projected on tonight's board (Reese 14.8 REB; Stokes 9.0 REB and 2.2 BLK), and Stokes is the only player projected above 1.0 block
There is no 3PM/3PA objective in Classic. The guards matter for AST/STL objectives, but the bigs will be the most strained across the series
Injuries: Allisha Gray (ATL) is questionable and day-to-day after practicing, and is not on today's board; Brionna Jones & Matilde Villa (ATL) and Iliana Rupert (GS) are out
