Today's slate: WNBA · Preview & Predictions. See today's Fast Break · Pro.
Game 5 moves the WNBA Finals to San Francisco, tied 2-2 after the Valkyries' 67-62 Game 4 win in Atlanta. Jordin Canada tops the board at 6.7 assists, and Veronica Burton is second at 5.6.
Considerations
This is Day 5 of the WNBA Finals Run and Game 5 of the Finals, in San Francisco. The best-of-seven series is tied 2-2 after Golden State's 67-62 Game 4 win, so it will see at least six games
Player limits matter far more in the Finals: early usage means a player is not available later in the series, and a longer series strains the collection further
The AST/STL objective centers on the backcourts. Canada projects 6.7 assists and Burton 5.6, the only two players at 4.0 or more, while Rhyne Howard projects 2.0 steals, the most on the board
A 20 AST + 3 STL target works out to 4.0 assists and 0.6 steals per player across five players. Thirteen players project at 0.6 or more steals. The five highest assist projections combine for 20.8 and the five highest steal projections combine for 8.7
Players out tonight: Brionna Jones & Matilde Villa (ATL); Iliana Rupert (GS)
