Teams Preview
Golden State Valkyries Preview
Golden State's most recent game was a 91–71 victory over the Chicago Sky on August 13. The Valkyries initially started slowly but completely took control as the game progressed. Tiffany Hayes produced a season-high 22 points, along with 6 rebounds and 5 assists, while Veronica Burton added 13 points and 6 rebounds. Golden State also received valuable contributions from their bench despite missing Kiah Stokes and Janelle Salaün.
The defensive performance was particularly impressive. Golden State forced Chicago into turnovers and converted those mistakes into easy points, while their defensive intensity increased as the game went on. They eventually pulled away decisively and finished with a 20-point victory, improving to 24–9.
Golden State's biggest advantage is its balanced offense and defensive pressure. The Valkyries should look to move the ball quickly, use Zandalasini and Salaün to stretch Dallas defense and attack mismatches inside.
Defensively, the priority will be limiting Paige Buecker's interior touches while putting pressure on Dallas ball handlers. Golden State should also try to force turnovers and turn them into transition points rather than allowing Dallas to establish its half-court offense.
The Golden State Valkyries on average score 83.5 points per game, they score 42.7% from the field and are ranked 15th in the league, and 35.3% from the arc and are ranked 5th in the league. The Golden State Valkyries grab 32.5 rebounds per game and ranked 11th in season.
Dallas Wings Preview
Dallas' latest game was a 98–87 loss to the Indiana Fever. The Wings actually led 37–35 at halftime and were still within striking distance entering the fourth quarter, but Indiana finished the game strongly with a 35-point fourth quarter.
Paige Bueckers led Dallas with 29 points, while the Wings were playing short-handed without Azzi Fudd, Jessica Shepard and Aziaha James. The loss dropped Dallas to 20–15.
Dallas need to attack Golden State through Paige Bueckers' pick-and-roll creation and avoid becoming overly dependent on isolation possessions. Bueckers should be used to draw defensive attention and create opportunities for shooters and cutters, while Arike Ogunbowale's scoring ability can provide another perimeter threat.
With injuries affecting the rotation, Dallas should also push the pace when possible and maximize transition opportunities rather than repeatedly playing against Golden State's set defense.
The Dallas Wings on average, score 88.9 points per game, they score 46.4% from the field and are ranked 6th in the league, and 34% from the arc and are ranked 8th in the league. The Dallas Wings grab 34.1 rebounds per game and ranked 5th in the season.
